Just over a dozen years later, another guy came along with a similar name. Perhaps, as was often the case, the same family name was given different spelling as they immigrated, and Kurridge became Kurage? Perhaps this is all a bit of damnfoolery?
Perhaps.
But, Joe Simon brought us Ken Kurage and the Solar Patrol in the second issue of Silver Streak Comics at the beginning of 1940 -
But, Ken didn't have Connie's staying power. In his second tale, Kurage became Keen as he downsized from Solar Patrol to Planet Patrol...

...and the following issue he lost both Joe Simon and the colours blue & yellow...
A couple issues later he faded into the aether, another hero lost in space...
