Space Force Saturdays ATOM-AGE COMBAT "Sky Diver"

Though this 1950s Comic Usually Presented Future Atomic War Between Countries...

...it did present a couple of alien invasion tales during it's brief run!

Scripted by an unknown writer, penciled by Bob Brown and inked by Lew Gantz, this never-reprinted story from St John's Atom-Age Combat #5 (1952) was typical of the "Hell, we can handle any damn invaders!" attitude we Americans had back in the day!

Friday Fun / Easter Reading Room EASTER WITH MOTHER GOOSE "Ten Little Easter Eggs"

This year, Easter Egg hunts are likely to be scaled down...

...due to scarcity and expense of the lovingly-hand colored items!

So we're providing this Walt (Pogo) Kelly written/illustrated short published in Dell's Four Color Comics #103: Easter with Mother Goose (1946) to show today's young ones what they're missing this year!
In addition, this "gentle" little piece is a classic example of innocently-violent, yet kid-friendly material rarely-seen today.
(And please, no politically-correct comments about the "Two little Easter eggs playing with a gun" rhyme.)

Reading Room MAGAZINELAND U.S.A. Conclusion

We Have Already Seen...

...on the 50th Anniversary of their current plant's "christening" the operators of the largest comic book/comic strip printing facility in America celebrated with a promotional comic detailing how a comic book was created and printed!

After covering the editorial and preparation processes (and segueing into a photo album about the "early days") we now return to the printing plant itself...

As you can see, this was a major operation...

Besides the comic, there were tours of the facility.

This one, during the June 18th, 1977, featured Phil Seuling, known as the Father of the Direct Market and Comic Book Stores!

And that's how comics were produced from the 1930s until the early 1980s, when going to offset printing resulted in a slow transition to Canadian printers.

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder FROST & FIRE Part 1

It's an interesting concept told in a short story by Ray Bradbury.

Klaus Janson adapts it, handling the script, line art, and coloring in a one-man show.

To Be Continued

NEXT WEDNESDAY

Officially-titled DC's Science Fiction Graphic Novel #3: Frost & Fire (1985), this was part of DC Comics' second attempt at an ongoing series of graphic adaptations, this time of existing material from noted sci-fi/fantasy authors.
(The first series featured original concepts and stories by comic creatives including Jack Kirby, Howard Chaykin, and Alex Nino.)
Both series ran for seven issues.
Except for Jack Kirby's The Hunger Dogs, which concluded the original New Gods series, none of the stories has ever been reprinted!

Reading Room MAGAZINELAND U.S.A. Part 1

We Now Wrangle with Tariffs That Will Raise the Price of Comics & Graphic Novels...

...because the vast majority are printed in Canada!

But let's look back at when America printed its' own comic books...courtesy of this 1977 promotional comic celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the printing plant building, packaged by the then-brand new Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art!

This behind-the-scenes look at how comics were produced will conclude Thursday!

What Was "Stop Project 2025: the Comic Book"?

It appears to have been a noble effort to try to warn the public before Election Day, 2024...

...by presenting the insidious Reich-Wing Project 2025, with over 900 pages of text into a graphic presentation broken down into 2-to-6 page categories ranging from Abortion to Taxes to War on the Working Class!

The assortment of talent was quite impressive...ranging from established writers and artists to up-and-comers with only a few professional credits so far!

Other contributors to this project have elected to not have their names listed here.

We respect and protect their privacy and thank them for their anonymous contributions.

Sadly, the response to the comic seems to have been minimal, despite a fairly robust on-line presence and articles in several media outlets including Forbes!
Perhaps part of the problem was that it didn't go on-line until the middle of October, only a couple of weeks before the election!
I'd like to point out I didn't know it even existed until yesterday, when it popped up in an on-line search I was doing for the works of one of the creatives listed above!
Starting tomorrow, and continuing through the month of March, I'll post a different chapter from the book each Monday to give you a taste of the quality work done for this noble effort!
