In the winter of 1945, Farrel passed away and a new editor took over, Mr. Lowboy. The comic changed direction dramatically and the stories became longer and more fantastic, with science fiction and horror-themed tales. Some of the most popular issues were Jetboy and the Third Reich, Jetboy on Dinosaur Island (a representative of the later, fantastical phase), and the final issue, the real one, Jetboy and the Aliens, featuring an account of Jetboy's last adventure, when he sacrificed himself trying to stop the release of the wild card virus in September of 1946. Jetboy Comics remains a classical comic book series to this day. Two famous fans of the comic were the Great and Powerful Turtle and Kid Dinosaur, both of them famous aces and devoted to Jetboy's example.
