Friday Fun / Trump Reading Room SAVAGE DRAGON

Didn't see any comics characters (and their creators) endorsing Don da Con at any time...

...but I did see them proudly endorsing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in 2020...and will likely see them endorsing Kamala and whomever she selects as her running mate!

Wonder why?

Reading Room STRANGE TALES OF THE UNUSUAL "Stowaway in the Sky!"

Here's a never-reprinted Cold War tale...

...about secrets, spies, and sabotage from Atlas' Strange Tales of the Unusual #9 (1957).

Written by Carl Wessler and illustrated by Ed Winiarski, this was a typical 1950s tale of sneaky Russkies being out-maneuvered by smarter Americans!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder BRAK THE BARBARIAN "Unspeakable Shrine" Part One

Though Brak was the least-successful of Marvel's early 1970s barbarian horde...

...it wasn't for lack of trying, as this never-reprinted story from Marvel's Savage Tales V1N7 (1974) demonstrates!

(I Mean Next Week!)

Doug Moench and Steve Gan both went on to other kool high-adventure projects at Marvel!

Doug scripted the b/w Doc Savage series (considered by many, myself included, to be the best comics version of the Man of Bronze ever) and Steve worked on Tarzan, Conan, co-created Skull the Slayer, and co-created the Guardians of the Galaxy's own Peter Quill/StarLord!

Reading Room STRANGE TALES "Beware the Uboongi!"

Let Us Gaze At Uranus...

...sorry, I can't resist occasionally reverting to 10-year old sense of humor when presenting a comic story, in this case from Marvel's Strange Tales #100 (1962).

OOPS!

Silly us, not warning the Russkies about which animals were dangerous...

Illustrated by Don Heck, the plotter and scripter are likely the book's editor, Stan Lee (plot) and his brother, Larry Lieber (script).
Note: Stan Lee's birth name is Stanley Lieber.
He used "Stan Lee" on his comics work because he hoped (as most writers do) to script the Great American Novel and wanted the Lieber name on that.
He eventually legally-changed his name to Stan Lee.

Monday Madness MAD-DOG "Rabid"

He is The Hero We Need NOW...

...at least, that's what they thought in 1992, according to Ace Comics' editor Harlan Stone.

Writer Evan Dorkin, penciler Gordon Pucell, and inker Ray McCarthy play along with the premise of the short-lived TV 1990s series BOB (starring Bob Newhart) about a Silver Age comic character being revived in the Dark Age of the 1990s.

Editor Harlan Stone, mentioned above, is the character on the show who supports reimagining the Adam West-Batman-like Mad-Dog as a psychopathic killer vigilante, which Mad-Dog's creator, Bob McKay, hates, as shown in this "behind the scenes" page...

So, Stone proposes this comic (published by Marvel) which will present both versions!
You can read Bob McKay's upbeat Silver Age version right now over at our 'brother" RetroBlog Hero Histories by clicking HERE!
And you can watch (yes, watch) the series' origin story at another "brother" RetroBlog, Secret Sanctum of Captain Video, by clicking HERE!
