But what if those extraterrestrials weren't benevolent?

Written by Gardner Fox, penciled by Paul Reinman, and inked by Mike Esposito, this never-reprinted tale from Skywald's Nightmare #3 (1971) implies that the Biblical God we worshop was, in fact, a manipulative alien!

Friday Fun HOMER THE HAPPY GHOST "Dinosaur Egg"

Atlas Comics had a Casper the Friendly Ghost "Clone"...

...written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Dan DeCarlo, who encounted...a dinosaur!

This never-reprinted story from Atlas' Homer the Happy Ghost #13 (1957) is no sillier than the literally thousands of tales about Harvey's Casper, and a heckuva lot wittier!

Reading Room MONSTERS ON THE PROWL "Terror of the Pterodactyl!

This Never-Reprinted Ptale from Marvel's Monsters on the Prowl #15...

...was the first credited work by a writer who would soon become a major contributor to the Marvel Comics Universe in the Bronze Age!

Appearing in the back of Marvel's Monsters on the Prowl #15 (1972), the story which was produced "Marvel Style" (plotted by an uncredited Al Hewetson and penciled by Syd Shores) was given to assistant editor Steve Englehart to dialogue, then lettered by Artie Simek and returned to Shores to ink!
It led to several full plot & script assignments on various non-superhero stories, then an ongoing series about ex-X-Man The Beast in Amazing Adventures.
Then came the big break...taking over two multi-hero team books, The Defenders and The Mighty Avengers...which led to what can be called the first "Big Event" series in comic book history: the multi-issue, summer-long crossover event between the two books called The Avengers-Defenders War!
His career since then has been long and varied, with stories at DC, Warren, Eclipse, Topps, Deluxe, and Valiant, as well as movie & TV scripts and novels.

But it all began with a ptime-lost ptale about a pteradactyl...

Reading Room MY GREATEST ADVENTURE "We Were 20th Century Cavemen"

Prepare to Be Pterrified...

Art by Bob Brown

...because this week we're presenting a pair of ptales of...pterodactyls!

Illustrated by Ruben Moreira and scripted by an unknown writer, this never-reprinted tale from DC's My Greatest Adventure #27 (1959) was typical of their output during the 1950s, imaginative concepts, but only occasionally actually exciting.
