Space Nomad

Real Name: Unknown

First Appearance: Space Nomad Comics (1946)

Original Publisher: Century

Created by: E.G. Letkeman

Origin:

Space Nomad had his own 2-issue, un-numbered series by Century Publications in the spring of 1946. There was a 3rd issue planned but, nothing ever came of it. Issues were distributed with and without covers, and primarily sold in Britain (aside from being a Canadian publisher). Other than he was created by E.G. Letkeman and was one of only two characters (the other being Zor the Mighty) published by Century whose titles included new material (the others were all re-prints), this series is extremely rare and virtually nothing is known about the character.
