Monday PSA: Look to the Stars!

Look to the Stars! Click for the full page.A helpful PSA comes by way of Adventure Comics #254, which teaches us how not to get lost in the woods. Well OK, it teaches us how to find north using the North Star — which isn’t quite the same thing as not being lost because it’s certainly possible to know where north is, yet still be lost –but at least it’s a step in the right direction (and a great deal more useful than most PSAs).

The PSA also mentions the star Vega, which ties into my post last week on Countdown #48 (All this talk about Vega reminds me of an old Star Trek pop-up book I had growing up: Star Trek - The Prisoner of Vega. It was years ago, but from what I recall, the story followed the old sci-fi trope of a planet ruled by women who held men as slaves. And there were Klingons involved somehow too. A quick Google search informs me that this is a “hard to find” Star Trek book, though there seem to be an awful lot for sale for such a hard to find book).

This PSA was written by prolific PSA scribe Jack Schiff with Lou Cameron doing the art. It comes courtesy of the ever helpful H over at the Comic Treadmill.

  1. Interesting but not a lot of use to those of who dwell in the Southern Hemisphere.

    As a die-hard Titans fan, to me Vega is the star around which Tamaran, home planet of Starfire, circles.

  2. I went outside and did this. It works.
