Space Hero Saturdays STEPHEN COLBERT'S TEK JANSEN "Horn Like Me! A Tek Jansen Case File"

We've Already Posted a Two-Part Tale of Tek Jansen HERE and HERE...

...from #1 (2007) of his Oni Press mini-series.

Now, to close out the issue, we re-present the final story from that book...

Written by Jim Massey and illustrated by Robbi Rodriguez, this "Case File" is more in the style of a hard-boiled gumshoe tale than a "straight" sci-fi adventure!
Tek Jansen will return, next week at...
Wednesday Worlds of Wonder!

Friday Fun BASEBALL COMICS "Rube Rooky Climbs Up from the Pit...."

Will Eisner's saga of how a baseball superstar is created continues...

...as Rube leaves his family and girlfriend to pursue his dream...

Wow!

Big-screen TV in 1949?

Who knew?

Next Week: the exciting conclusion to Rube Rooky's amazing saga!
BTW, anybody here see a parallel between Rube and a real-life ballplayer who faced similar problems being accepted by his teammates because he was "different" just a year before writer/penciler Will Eisner and inker Tex Blaisdell created this tale?

Think about it...

Reading Room KANDI THE CAVE KID "Dinosaur"

Creationists believe the Earth is only 6,000 years old...

...so to them, this could be considered a chapter in a history book!

This never-reprinted story from Dell's Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies Comics #15 (1943) was the final appearance of the Walt Kelly-created character.

Besides both print adaptations of theatrical cartoons and new tales of existing Warner Brothers characters like Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, Dell introduced a number of new characters to fill out the pages of the comic anthology, including Kandi and Pat, Patsy & Pete.

Kandi was one of the shorter-lived ones, with only a half-dozen short tales from #3 to #15.

Stephen Colbert IS Tek Jansen: Space Hero!

Did you know mild-mannered Late Show host Stephen Colbert is really...

...and that he had both a five-issue comic mini-series...

...and a number of animated cartoon episodes (with Colbert as the voice of Jansen)!

Sadly, the cartoons themselves are now lost to the cyber-winds, but the theme song survives HERE!
But hang tight, True Believers, 'cause we'll be posting some of the OOP (that's "out of print") adventures of everybody's (especially Stephen's) favorite space hero for the next couple of weeks on this blog at Wednesday Worlds of Wonder and Space Hero Saturdays plus, same day on Wednesdays and Saturdays, at Secret Sanctum of Captain Video!
That's three chapters each week for the next two weeks!
