Friday Fun YAK YAK "Hysterical Historical Quizzical Quiz"

Since it's the 4th of July weekend...
...we thought we'd go with a post with a historical theme and let writer/artist Jack Davis test your knowledge with this (astonishingly) never-reprinted feature from the first appearance of Yak Yak in Dell's Four Color Comics #1186 (1961)!
So, how did you do?

Reading Room TIME WARP "Survivors"

Even in the future, there's one inviolable rule about volunteering...
...never, ever, do it!
I love switch-endings.
Writer Mike W Barr and illustrator Tom Sutton do a bang-up job worthy of the classic EC comics Weird Science and Weird Fantasy!
The late Tom Sutton was both extremely versatile and extremely under-rated!
He did everything from humor (Not Brand Echh!) to media tie-in sci-fi (Star Trek, Planet of the Apes) to romance (Haunted Love), to horror (Werewolf by Night) and did them all well.
There's a wonderful interview with him HERE that gives real insight into him and why he, sadly, never became a superstar.

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder SILVER SURFER: THE ULTIMATE COSMIC EXPERIENCE Part 5

(Yes, this is the Jack Kirby/Mike Royer original for the unused cover for the graphic novel.
It served as the basis for Earl Norem's painted version that appeared on both the hardcover and paperback editions from Simon & Schuster.)
While Galactus prepares to devour the Earth, the Silver Surfer attempts to prove to Ardina that the planet and its' people are worth defending from the Devourer of Planets...
What next?
Does the Surfer survive?
Where's Ardina?
And what of the ever-hungry Galactus?
Dare you miss the next, exciting chapter?

Reading Room FLASH GORDON COMICS "World You WILL Live In"

Though the Flash Gordon stories in this four-issue series from Harvey were newspaper reprints...
...there were text stories and ongoing features that were new material!
This feature appeared in all four issues of the 1950-51 book.
Sadly, the writer and artist are unknown.
It's fascinating to see what they got wrong...and more importantly, what they got right!

Monday Mars Madness MARS ATTACKS "Attacking an Army Base"

When Last We Left the Martians...

Art by Wally Wood, Bob Powell, and Norm Saunders
...they were en-route to Earth, and had destroyed several satellites (manned and unmanned) in orbit.
Now, we're about experience...well...it's pretty obvious...
John Green takes over as penciler-inker for this chapter.
We're not certain if it's a pseudonym, since the only other credits we can find for "John Green" are for a younger artist who would've been in elementary school at the time of this series!
