Four months before Planet Comics #1 hit the stands with Flint Baker, Mystery Men Comics #1 premiered another planetary adventurer from Briefer -
Rex Dexter ran in the first 24 issues of Mystery Men, plus one issue of his own title - though that was mostly reprints. (On the other hand, when dealing with comics from 1939, reprints can be a nice thing to have around)

Well, now i guess you probably want to see Rex in action, hmm?
I suppose we can manage that. But this post is fairly lengthy already, so - another time.
