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...
(Sorry - I don't have this one, and microfiche was the best i could find) |
...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...
