Monday Mecha Madness NIGHTMARE "Massacre of Mankind!"

Look at this tale and tell us...if you can...when was it created?
Was it
The Golden Age (1940s)?
The Atomic Age (1950s)?
The Silver Age (1960s)?
or
The Bronze Age (1970s)?
The answer will surprise you!
One hint: The artist who drew it worked in all four eras!
It was written and laid-out in the 1950s, but penciled and inked in the 1970s!
Scripted by Walter (The Shadow) Gibson and laid-out by Gene Fawcette back in 1952, the tale was fully-penciled and inked by Bill (Sub-Mariner) Everett for Skywald's b/w anthology Nightmare #2 (1971)!
It's actually the first chapter in a three-part tale, but the other two parts were never re-done!
You'll see the complete original tale starting TOMORROW!

What You Are About to Read Happened 25 Years Ago Today...

All text is from the official 9/11 Report ...

...and all dialogue is taken verbatim from verified audio recordings!
Besides detailing the actual events, the adaptation takes what would be incredibly-tedious background text material and livens it up, as these thumbnails on the Table of Contents show...
(You didn't think I was going to present the entire book here, did you?)
Writer/editor Sid Jacobson and writer/artist Ernie Colon are best known for their work together on various Harvey Comics humor strips.
Note that Ernie had demonstrated his serious comics work for DCMarvel, and Warren, among others on projects like ArakDamage ControlAmethystBattleStar Galactica and Medusa Chain!
As a result, Farrar, Straus and Giroux's 9/11 Report (2006) stands as a high-water mark for a graphic novel based on history!

FLASH GORDON THE MOVIE Chapter 13 "The End? Well, Maybe..."

Read the Previous Chapter HERE!
The End? Well, Maybe . . .
AS the court applauded and cheered, Vultan raised his sword. “Barin is the rightful heir!”

Led by Luro and Biro, the court shouted, “Hail, Barin, King of Mongo!”

Barin grinned, bowed, and said, “We owe everything to Flash Gordon!” He gestured for the Earthling and his two companions to join him on the upper level of the palace hall, and the Mongians cheered their saviors from the stars.

“We appoint Vultan general of our armies. From this day on, every breed of Mongo shall live in peace.” Barin turned to Aura, put his arm about her waist. “And we cordially invite you all to the wedding of your new King and Aura, daughter of the deposed Emperor, three days hence.”

As the court cheered again, Aura passionately kissed Barin. “My hero,” she whispered.

Zarkov smiled at Dale. “Somewhere on Earth the sun is rising.”

“Oh, I bet it’s a beauty,” Dale said. “Will we ever get home again, Hans?”

“I don’t know. We’ll try.”

“We certainly invite you all to stay,” said Barin.

“What do you think?” Flash asked Dale. “Could you get used to it here?”

Dale shook her head. “I’m a New York girl. It’s pretty quiet around here for me.”

However, as the attention of all was fixed upon the HawkMen saluting Flash in the red sky, no one noticed a gloved hand taking Ming’s ring from the rubble and concealing it beneath the folds of a robe.
Note: In at least one draft of the script (which apparently scripter Bruce Jones and illustrator Al Williamson utilized), the person who picks up the ring is identified...

Would Flash Gordon II: the Vengeance of Ming (my title, not the actual potential title) have featured a Ming-possessed Flash being evil, or perhaps forcing Zarkov to build an android body for Ming's consciousness?
We'll never know!
BTW, You Can Also Read the Complete Graphic Novel Adaptation...

1) At the Mercy of the Merciless
2) "Gordon's Alive!"
3) "...He's a Miracle...King of the Imposible..."
4) "Flash...aaAAAHHH!"
