Wednesday Worlds of Wonder LOST WORLD "From the Past...Hope!"
...to change the odds for Hunt Bowman and Lyssa as they fight legions of VoltaMen to free future Earth from alien domination!
Bruce's VoltaMan body is a strategic asset beyond their wildest expectations, as the new allies will soon discover!
Spoiler: you can discover why by looking HERE!
Though Lily Renee is the primary artist on this never-reprinted tale from Fiction House's Planet Comics #36 (1945), there's some retouching, mostly on the new characters' faces, which appears to be the work of Eisner/Iger Studio head Will Eisner himself!

Monday Madness WEIRD TALES OF THE FUTURE "Day of Doom"
It's Monday, which many of us considered, pre-coronavirus, to be the...
But we didn't mean the phrase quite as literally as this apocalyptic tale which...well, read for yourself...
Talk about "everything but the kitchen sink"!
Us vs Commies!
Commies vs Aliens!
Aliens vs Us!
Evacuation of the Earth!
Destruction of the Moon!
Finally, to top it all off...Atlantis Rising!
And all that in only seven pages!
This story from Key's Weird Tales of the Future #4 (1952) could, with a little updating, make a helluva feature film or TV mini-series!
While the writer is unknown, the artist was Tony Mortellaro, who did hundreds of tales in various genres for Key and Atlas/Marvel, (where he became Associate Art Director under John Romita in the 1970s).

Space Force Saturdays on Sunday SPACE SQUADRON "Armada of Death"
We had to move our Space Force Saturdays presentation to Sunday...
...since we were retelling Marvel's version of the Birth of Christ, and didn't want to interrupt it!
As long as we're here, let's go back to the year 2000, when Americans controlled the Solar System, and protected it from aliens...extraterrestrials, not people from other countries on Earth!
This never-reprinted tale from Atlas' Space Squadron #2 (1951) is typical of the early 1950s, when sci-fi was dominated by various military and police organizations patrolling and controlling the universe, much as America was patrolling and controlling the non-Commie-controlled parts of Earth.
The illustrator, who became the regular artist, was Werner Roth.
Sadly, the writer is unknown,
