Future Fashion Filler

As one of Fiction House's Big 6, Planet Comics tried to pad each issue of the first few years of their run to about 70 pages long. Issue #10 has a 2-page text story titled Super Salesman Of Space about an epic cosmic delivery man, even though he has nothing on Mars Mason of the Interplanetary Mail Service. The same issue has a strange 3-page segment that tried to be a short comic reusing old art by Bob Powell and George Tuska that was called Fashions Of The Future written by H.G. Mills. It's hard to tell if this is a bizarre sales pitch for a non-existent product or the comic equivalent of a clip show from some lazy network sitcom. The first page goes over all the accoutrements your average galactic hitchhiker might need in their everyday wardrobe like tiny radio transmitters and built in air conditioners. The plot has an unnamed guy and girl heading out into the inky void just to test out their future threads. They arrive on Pluto back when it was still considered a planet and use their high-tech suits to heat their bodies, or at least from the neck down because there is nothing protecting their heads from the possibly toxic atmosphere. They both fall into a glacial crack, but its fortunate that their shiny duds can inflate to float them back up like human balloons. The couple return to space, run across those pesky space pirates who were all over Golden Age comics, and crash on a nearby planetoid. They have to spend the next few days only surviving thanks to the Batman utility belt that is their spiffy suits. The standard ray gun that comes with every pair of space slacks was helpful at disintegrating a green-skinned local whose only crime seemed to be trying to find out who the pesky tourists were. The man and woman get saved by a ship that happened to be in the neighborhood with the man complaining that their whole journey was merely monotonous. This demo for imaginary sci-fi clothes is totally pointless and only serves as filler for a comic that didn't have enough ads to complete their standard monthly package.
