Space Force Saturday SPACE SQUADRON "Vulturos of Space!"

Buckle up your jetpacks, space cadets...

...as we hurtle to the year 2000 (as seen from the 1950s) and witness sexism in space.

So much for Women's Lib in the then-future!

This never-reprinted tale from Atlas' Space Squadron #2 (1951) reflects the sexual politics of the time it was written.

In reality, by 2000, we not only had female combat pilots in the military, but female astronauts as well...women every bit as brave and competent as their male counterparts!

The artist is Werner Roth, who would be Jack Kirby's successor on The X-Men, but the writer is unknown.

Friday Fun SNAFU "Understanding the Atom: Diagram of an Atom Bomb"

Considering Don da Con almost managed to stage a coup and gain total control of the government on Wednesday...

..we thought we'd offer this never-reprinted, easy-to-understand diagram of the weapon he's only one temper tantrum away from launching from #2 (1956) of Atlas/Marvel's short-lived 1950s MAD b/w magazine clone, SNAFU, written by Stan Lee and rendered by Joe Maneely.

Most of you are aware Marvel had a fairly-successful MAD clone in the 1970s-80s called CRAZY, but they also gave it a try back in the 1950s, with a three issue run!

#1

#2

#3

As you can see from the contents page of #2... 

...the incredibly-versatile John Severin and Joe Maneely handled literally all the artwork for the series.
Also, Irving Forbush was their Alfred E Neuman / Sylvester P Smythe-type mascot, whose face was shown constantly.
Later versions of Irv in Not Brand Echh, What Th--?, and other comics didn't show his face, and his "costume" as Forbush-Man included an all-concealing cooking pot with holes in it as a mask!
To date, none of the material from these very hard-to-find issues of Snafu has ever been reprinted, which is a pity, because it's pretty damn good!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder LOST WORLD "Who Was I? Who Am I? Who Will I Be?"

When Last We saw Hunt, Lyssa and their new Scooby Gang...

...one of the three humans, Bruce, recently revived from suspended animation was shot.

With no other options, his still-functioning brain was transplanted into a captive VoltaMan by fellow resurrectee (and surgeon) Robin...

Isn't it handy that the alien body Bruce's brain is transferred into is not only compatable with his brain's biology, but just happens to be the son of the VoltaMen's ruler?
Do the VoltaMen look so similar that only an item like a ring or uniform insignia defines them?
And, what happens now that "Bruce/Guth" has shot his own body's father?

This never-reprinted tale from Fiction House's Planet Comics #38 (1945) takes the now-ongoing storyline in an unexpected direction,,,which may lead to unplanned consequences for the team!

Trump Reading Room WEIRD TALES OF THE FUTURE "City of Primitive Man!"

This never-reprinted story is a Trumpster's sci-fi wet-dream...

...where it appears the geeks have inherited the Earth, and only the jocks can save civilization!

As this odd tale from Key's Weird Tales of the Future #2 (1952) shows, only extremely-manly men can keep civilization from being over-run when danger threatens.

The art is by Ed Smalle, a little-known, but prolific Golden Age artist producing almost 500 stories and covers starting in 1940 and ending in 1957, when he died.

Note: He might have scripted it as well, since he did that on occasion...

Monday Madness JETTA OF THE 21st CENTURY "Pardon My Power!"

It's January, 2021, so it's the season for FOOTBALL!

...or football as shown in the "future" (our present), as presented in 1952...69 years ago!

If the art style of this tale from Standard's Jetta of the 21st Century #6 (1953) looks familiar, it's the work of Dan DeCarlo, who helped establish the iconic "look" of Archie Comics!

Dan actually started at Atlas Comics (the 1940s-50s predecessor to Marvel Comics) doing a variety of humor strips before beginning a long-term run on various Archie titles in 1951.

Even then, he continued to work for a number of other publishers, including Standard Comics, who asked him to create, write, and illustrate a teen-humor series.

(Every publisher had at least one of them!) 

Exactly whose idea it was to set it in the "far future" of the 21st Century is unknown, but the resultant strip, though extremely derivative of Archie, was unique in the teen-humor genre for it's Jetsons-style setting and "futuristic" slang.
