Reading Room WORLD OF SUSPENSE "Forbidden!"
Here's another never-reprinted tale from the Atlas Comics vault...
...illustrated by longtime comics book artist Ed Winiarski and scripted by a writer whose name is lost to the sands of time, though it may be Ed himself!
This never-reprinted story from Atlas' World of Suspense #8 (1957) is one of Winiarski's last stories in comics before either retiring or switching to other media like advertising after a 20-year career in comics!
Trivia: Ed is one of the creators cited in Stan Lee's book (really a booklet) Secrets of the Comics as shown HERE!

Reading Room ROCKET SHIP X "Ivy Invasion"
Here's a never-reprinted tale from one of the rarest anthology titles of all...
...Fox's Rocket Ship X (1951)!
(not to be confused with the movie RocketShip X-M, which came out the year before...)
Both writer and artist(s) of this extremely-weird tale are unknown.
Fox, unlike most comics publishers in the 1940s-50s, didn't go whole-hog with sci-fi.
Fox, unlike most comics publishers in the 1940s-50s, didn't go whole-hog with sci-fi.
Though they did occasional sci-fi stories that appeared in their other adventure and action anthologies, Rocket Ship X (1951) was their lone sci fi-only anthology, and was just a one-shot.

Monday Madness / CoronaVirus Comics MORLOCK: 2001 "Morlock Must be Destroyed!" Conclusion
...as seen from the perspective of 1975, when the story was created, he had been given shelter by a scientist who was conducting similar research into humanoid plants like what Morlock's creator had been doing!
Written by Michael Fleischer, penciled by Al Milgrom, and inked by Jack Abel, this never-reprinted tale from Atlas/Seaboard's Morlock: 2001 #2 (1975) introduces a new vengeance-driven antagonist who could either have worked with the government to capture Morlock or against the government to destroy the plant-man!
Except...as with most of the company's titles, the third issue featured a total change of creative staff and direction...as you'll see next Monday!

Most Excellent! Bill & Ted's Never-Repinted Adventure and Other Blogathon Goodies!
...we thought it only appropriate to re-present the never-reprinted hard-to-find adaptation of their first cinematic adventure...for comparison, of course!
Note: it was published as a tie-in to the videotape's (remember those?) release, after the movie appeared in theaters!
Behold this most excellent tale starting Monday the 24th at Secret Sanctum of Captain Video!
Meanwhile...
It's not Labor Day yet, so the RetroBlogs Summer Blogathons continue apace!
