Space Hero Saturdays TALES TO OFFEND "Lance Blastoff on the Dinosaur Planet"

Here's what a veteran of Don the Con's Space Force might be like...
...when he goes "independent contractor" after his tour of duty!
Lance Blastoff was Frank (Do I really have to tell you?) Miller's "redneck space hero" satire.
Though this tale first appeared in Dark Horse Presents #100 (1995), we're running the reprint from Dark Horse's Tales to Offend (1997) since it's in glorious full color by Marie Severin.
(The first appearance was b/w)
27 years later, he's the very embodiment of Don the Con's "Deplorables" set in an EC-style future!
He smokes!
He drinks!
He swears!
He lies to women...and they love it!
He's Lance Blastoff, and he says, "Get it while you can get it, then get going while the going's good!" Lance Blastoff: Role model for the next millennium!

Friday Holiday Fun WEB OF HORROR "Santa's Claws"

As shown in the new movie Violent Night...
...besides traversing the Earth on Christmas Eve distributing gifts, Kris Kringle protects the innocent from threats both real and imagined!.
Story and art for this tale from Major Magazines' Web of Horror #3 (1970) were by Frank Brunner, who would go on to fame and artistic success in sf/fantasy including acclaimed runs on the comics Dr Strange and Man-Thing, and the 1990s X-Men animated series.
BTW, the spider-like host of the book was named (what else?) "Webster"!

Holiday Reading Room JOURNEY INTO UNKNOWN WORLDS "They Wait in the Shadows!"

You saw a later version of this tale HERE...

...but this is the original story, behind a very misleading, but extremely-kool, cover by Bill Everett!
Illustrated by Bob Forgione and scripted by an unknown writer, this story from Atlas' Journey into Unknown Worlds #47 (1956) was more "hard" science-fiction and less "science-fantasy" than the later tale following the same basic plot!
But they're both equally-good at getting the Yuletide message across, eh?

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder ATARI FORCE Part Three "Chapter One: Enter--the Dark Destroyer!"

It's been a while since we looked in on the interdimensional adventures of the Atari Force...

...so let's see what's doing in 2005...
To find out where they go, you'll have to be back...
NEXT WEDNESDAY!
Gil Kane steps in as penciler for this never-reprinted tale from DC's Atari Force V1N3 (1982), but the rest of the ongoing creative team (writer Gerry Conway and inkers Dick Giordano & Mike DeCarlo) are along for this installment, which was included in Atari's Star Raiders videogame packages!

Holiday Reading Room JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY "Monsters on Mercury!"

Though it doesn't look like it...
...this is a Yuletide story, and thus, an appropriate entry into the Holiday Reading Room!
This long-forgotten Stan Lee/Steve Ditko tale from Atlas' Journey into Mystery #78 (1962) wasn't the first time this concept was used!
You'll find out what we mean...Thursday!

Monday Madness CHRISTMAS WITH MOTHER GOOSE "Christmas Problem of the Woman in the Shoe"

We presented a Yuletide story of the classic Old Woman Who Lives in a Shoe HERE...
...but it wasn't Walt (Pogo) Kelly's first visit to the unique domicile filled with children!
Written and illustrated by Kelly, this never-reprinted story from Dell's Four Color Comics: Christmas with Mother Goose #90 (1945) was Walt's first take on the concept!
Which one do you think is better?
