Space Heroine Saturdays BARBARELLA 3.2

Barbarella met a number of inhabitants of the labyrinth surrounding Lythion's capital city, Sogo, including Pygar the blind angel, and Earth scientist Durand.
With their help, Barbarella defeated the LeatherMen and is now en-route to the city itself.

While many elements were adapted into the feature film with minimal alteration, there's one startling difference...Durand, the main villain of the movie, is a good guy in the original comic strip!
More Barbarella soon.

Easter Reading Room LIFE OF CHRIST: EASTER STORY "Resurrection"

Under this Scott McDaniel cover...
...is one of the most unusual tales Marvel Comics ever told!
(And that's saying a lot!)
Written by Louise Simonson, pencilled by Mary Wilshire and Colleen Doran, and inked by Bill Anderson, this 1993 one-shot, co-published by Thomas Nelson Publishers is a companion volume to The Christmas Story by the same creative team, published earlier that year.
Easter Story tells the tale from Christ's entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday to this final chapter, though we're running only the section taking place on Easter itself here.
If you'd like to buy a copy of the HTF comic, you can find it HERE.

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder STAR RAIDERS "Beginning...the Saga of the Star Raiders!" Part 3

When Last We Left Jed, Tommy, and Ezikial...

...oh, the heck with it, read Part 1 HERE and Part 2 HERE!
Then come back and enjoy the mayhem!














To Be Continued...Next Wednesday!
Written by Eliiot S! Maggin and beautifully-painted by Jose Luis Garcia Lopez, this never-reprinted 1983 graphic novel was apparently-meant as the original follow-up to the previous Atari Force mini-comics which were included with video game cartridges!
None of these characters ever reappeared in the later Atari Force series, though more of the cute aliens created for the Atari Force mini-series, the Hukkas, appear here.

Easter Reading Room EASTER WITH MOTHER GOOSE Featurettes

Here's several shorts showcasing Walt (Pogo) Kelly's Versatility...

...and they didn't always feature fairy tale or nursery rhyme characters!


But, could we run a post like this without at least one nursery rhyme adapted to the season?
Hell, no!

Monday Madness / Easter Reading Room SANTA CLAUS FUNNIES "Great Three-Flavored Blizzard"

Wait!
"Santa Claus Funnies"?
Isn't it Almost Easter???


Yes it is..for us!
But, it seems the Easter Bunny has lost track of time!
And that's why this is our final Monday Madness entry for the Easter season...







Published in Dell's Four Color Comics/Santa Claus Funnies #175 (1947), Walt Kelly wrote and illustrated this tale of holiday confusion with what I believe is the first Santa Claus-Easter Bunny crossover comic story!
If I'm wrong, let me know, and I'll credit you on this blog when I run the story you cite!
