The Ghost On Mars


As Pappy's Golden Age Comics Blogzine points out, the plot of this 1941 The Ghost episode has more elements than the periodic table.  The Ghost is a wizard with a cape, who gets sent to Mars, through a time machine, to find red Martian rocks that are essential to America's defense, and discovers little Martian men with ray guns, ruled by a tall blond.
