Monday Mecha Madness PHANTOM "Survival!"

The First Flight to Uranus has Four CrewMembers...

...including one (as the British would say) with a "difference"!

Admittedly, this never-reprinted tale from Charlton's The Phantom #38 (1970) isn't too difficult to figure out, but the fact nobody's seen it in over 55 years compelled us to present this Don Perlin-illustrated story, scripted by a currently-unknown author!

Holiday Reading Room EVERY DAY IS A HOLLY DAY "Columbus Day"

 It used to always be October 12th (tomorrow, AAMOF)...

...but now it's the second Monday in October, no matter the date, to allow people a three-day holiday!

Interestingly, this page from Brevity Inc's one-shot giveaway Every Day is a Holly Day (1956) acknowledges Christopher Columbus didn't discover America, a rarity in that era!
(Vikings, in fact, discovered the already-inhabited continent in 860 AD!)

Why is this comic entitled "Every Day is a Holly Day" instead of "Every Day is a Holiday"?

Because it was given away to kids by grocers who sold Holly Sugar!

Illustrated by John Rosenberger, it's a unique pamphlet covering a number of American holidays, including both Lincoln and Washington's Birthdays (before they were combined into "Presidents' Day"), Mothers' Day (though not Fathers' Day), Flag Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and a couple of holidays we've largely abandoned...Pan-American Day and American Indian Day!

We'll be presenting the other chapters on the dates they fall upon.

Watch for them!
