I had to wait for this one, but it finally got in!

Did that come before or after Frazetta's Famous Funnies 213?

 

Captain Science 4 is dated of June 1951, Famous Funnies 213 is dated September 1954.

I love the Orlando/Wood cover of the Cap Science!!

Exactly! Furthermore...

 

Frazetta, Orlando, and Wood were all friends who went to art school together (they were known as "The Fleagle Gang," along with Al Williamson and Angelo Torres), so it's very likely that Frazetta copied Orlando/Wood's composition with their blessing.

 

Various details, along with the overall composition and similarity in coloration, make it an irrefutable connection:

i bought this copy years ago cuz i just liked it, and it led me to put the run together. i ultimately sold that run, but my old book came up again. this time i'll just keep it as a single. i think it may be the only "d copy" [w/o crippen] labeled book in my boxes.
