Anderson

From Encyclopedia Jumpleadia

Anderson is a crewmember aboard the unnamed cargo ship from the second issue, It Came From Space!. His officially capacity, if any, is unspecified. However he appears to fill the role of Science Officer.

The character pictured here and featured in the comic, however, is actually is an actor (whose name is not mentioned) playing Anderson in a reenactment of the first contact between humanity and an alien species.

It would be far too obvious for Anderson to be named after Richard Dean Anderson of MacGyver and Stargate SG-1 fame.
