Monday Mecha Madness TERMINATOR "Down to Earth" Part 1

Between the first Terminator  movie and Terminator 2: Judgment Day...

...a brand-new comics publisher secured the rights to do a sequel comic.

Note: the "three years since" reference is to 2028, the year The Terminator was sent into the past, not 1984, the year it arrived in the past.

To Be Concluded Next Monday!

Scripted by publisher Tony Caputo, penciled by Tony Akins, and inked by Jim Brozman, this never-reprinted adventure from NOW's Terminator #1 (1988) introduced the inhabitants of a moonbase untouched by SkyNet, who will prove vital to future storylines in comics, novels, roleplaying games, and the movies themselves.

BTW, it's not the premiere comics tale of the Terminator Multiverse!

That honor goes to a 5-page introduction in the back of NOW's Rust #12 (1988) which leads into this story.

Unfortunately, that book is extremely-expensive and I've never seen anybody else post scans of the Terminator back-up tale online!

Holiday Reading Room EVERY DAY IS A HOLLY DAY "Mother's Day"

Ever wonder why Mother's Day is when it is...or even why it is?

Oddly, there's no entry in this comic for Father's Day!

(Perhaps because Father's Day wasn't made an official American holiday until 1972, decades after this comic was published in 1956!)

Why is this comic entitled "Every Day is a Holly Day" instead of "Every Day is a Holiday"?

Because it was given away to kids by grocers who sold Holly Sugar!

Illustrated by John Rosenberger, it's a unique pamphlet covering a number of American holidays, including both Lincoln and Washington's Birthdays (before they were combined into "Presidents' Day"), Flag Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and a couple of holidays we've largely abandoned...Pan-American Day and American Indian Day!

We'll be presenting the other chapters on the dates they fall upon.

Watch for them!

Space Hero Saturdays CAPTAIN SCIENCE "Dark o' the Moon"

The man with alien technology at his command returns...

 ...in another outer space adventure!

Last time Gordon Dane destroyed a threat by humans (including Adolf Hitler) using alien tech and picked up a hot babe in the process!

Now he's dealing with aliens on the Moon!

PLUS, there's a cliffhanger involving the "Cat Men of Phoebus", which means the action goes interplanetary in the next story!

That catyclysmic conclusion will be presented...next Saturday!

The art on this never-reprinted story from Youthful's Captain Science #2 (1950)  is by Gustav Schrotter.

The writer is unknown.

Friday Fun FROM HERE TO INSANITY "Inside Mr America"

When I Think Weird, I Think Wolverton!

And, if you didn't before, you'll agree after reading this never-reprinted feature!

The amount of detail he put into this 2-pager from Charlton's From Here to Insanity V3N1 (1957) is astounding, considering...

a) the low (even for comic books) page rates Charlton was paying!

and

b) the usually-poor printing Charlton was infamous for!

Reading Room 3-D COLOR CLASSICS: TIME MACHINE (Conclusion)

We Have Already Seen...

Victorian-era inventor John travels to the future and discovers that, after reaching a pinnacle of scientific development, mankind has deteriorated to two groups of primitives!

Above-ground dwellers are peaceful, but those who lurk below are savage!

The underground humans steal John's time-travel vehicle...and then, one of his new-found friends, a woman named Weena.

Seeking both, the chronic argonaut goes below the surface, where he discovers the hostile cave dwellers, known as "Morlocks", are hyper-sensitive to light.

Finding his machine and the woman, John heads for the surface with her, planning to return for his vehicle...

Note: John says to the Morlocks; "Perhaps one of my distant ancestors will meet you!"

If they're in the future, wouldn't it be one of his descendents?
