Space Hero Saturdays FLASH GORDON Happy 45th, Flash!
Before we end 2025, we wanted to acknowledge that it's the 45th Anniversary of Flash Gordon.
Though critically-reviled when it came out, the movie has attained cult-classic status, primarily due to the soundtrack by Queen...
...and over-the-top performances by (among others) Brian Blessed (Hawkman Prince Vultan), Topol (Dr Zarkoff) and Max Von Sydow (Ming the Merciless).
The comic adaptation was written by Bruce Jones and illustrated by legendary artist Al Williamson (who, ironically, was also doing the equally-magnificent graphic novel version of The Empire Strikes Back at the same time)!
Interestingly, Williamson inked the entire Flash adaptation, while allowing the talented Carlos Garzon (himself, no slouch) to ink the bulk of Empire.

Friday Fun ALL-NEW COMICS "Mummy Madness"
If You Like Slapstick Abbott & Costello-Style Comedy...
...you'll love this never-reprinted one-shot feature from Harvey's All-New Comics #5 (1943)!
The team of Huff & Guff, produced by Bob Powell's art studio, were obviously patterned after Bud Abbott & Lou Costello, and were meant to be an ongoing feature.
Sadly, the response to them must have been absolutely minimal, since no further stories about them ever appeared!
Bob Powell and his assistants remained prolific contributors to numerous publishers (including Harvey) in every genre from romance to horror to humor to Westerns and more, through the 1940s and 50s

Reading Room WEIRD THRILLERS "Cycle of Time!"
Here's a sci-fi triple-treat: time travel, aliens, and dinosaurs!
This kool tale appeared in the HTF Ziff-Davis' anthology Weird Thrillers #2 (1951)!
Illustrated by Murphy Anderson, who was doing quite a bit of work for Z-D including the second issue of Space Busters and both issues of Lars of Mars as well as various one-shots like this.
We don't know who wrote this tale, but it might be series editor Jerry (Superman) Siegel.

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder AMAZING HIGH ADVENTURE "Death Stroke"
"High Adventure" Takes Many Forms...
...but the key is showing how humans overcome near-impossible challenges no matter the time or place!
Written by Louise Simonson and illustrated by Steve Leialoha, this kool, never-reprinted, story about the human spirit from Marvel's Amazing High Adventure #1 (1984) was part of a daring experiment to expand the graphic storytelling audience.
Sadly, it didn't sell, despite the numerous name-value creators who participated in the project, including (in this issue alone) Bill Sienkiewicz, Steve Englehart, John Severin, and Ann Nocenti!
