A Word from Our Sponsor: JET ROCKET SPACE SHIP!

This intriguing ad ran in comic books in the '50s and 60s. The ship was first offered at $2.98, then had a two dollar price increase. It included, you'll see "2 Disintigrator Guns" and after blasting off you can "release your load of powerful nuclear bombs and bullseye!" What fun!

But what did this baby really look like? I've collected photos from around the 'net to show us what was in the box and what it really looked like.



This piece from the June 1956 Mechanix Illustrated shows the disintigrator guns, but where are the nuclear bombs? (Note the kid in the Davy Crockett cap.)
