Operation Peril’s

by Richard Hughes

Release: October/November 1950
Format: Comic Book
Genre: Science Fiction
Audience: Adults
Content: Definite Time Travel
Original Language: English

Before it became a war comic, the first twelve issues of ACG’s Operation Peril included a regular series about Dr. Tom Redfield and his rich fiancé, Peggy, who buy some of Nostradamus’s papers and discover that he’d designed a time machine.

I haven’t found definitive information on the creators of this series. Several sites name ACG editor Richard E. Hughes as the writer; some places speculate that it was drawn by Ken Bald, but Pappy’s Golden Age Blog indicates that a reader names Lin Streeter as the actual artist, and Pappy agrees.

Why, what an odd-looking blueprint! Tempus Machina—why, Tom! That’s Latin for Time Machine!
