As promised, the second of two Antarctica themed PSAs. Today: “Pioneer of the Pole.” Just like last week, this is from Dell’s 1957 comic, Four Color #845: The Land Unknown, this time from the back cover.
This PSA is about Admiral Richard E. Byrd and Operation Deep Freeze. The great Alex Toth is listed as the artist on this page.
For conspiracy fans, there seems to be some legitimate controversy whether or not Byrd flew over the pole as he claimed. For even bigger conspiracy fans, there’s a (highly ridiculous) claim that Byrd found an opening to the hollow earth, but had his reports confiscated by the government.
