Origin
Â
Captain Nelson Cole of the Solar Force was one of dozens of personality free battlers of dictators, mad scientists and aliens from outer space that appeared in pulp magazines and comics at the time.
He had no origin, he was just a clear eyed, strong jawed righter of wrongs in Earth’s Solar Force.
While the character was unremarkable, the unknown artist of the strip made the series distinctive by drawing in a style that seemed to be in imitation of then Science Fiction art super-star Frank R. Paul, with sweeping vistas of invading spaceship fleets, strange machines and mind-controlled kidnapped humans being used as cannon fodder by the mad would-be world conqueror of the month. Â Â
