Reading Room STRANGE ADVENTURES "Maze of Time!"

Tuesday, We Presented a Never-Reprinted, Dinosaur-Themed, Story from Atlas' Strange Tales!

Cover illustrated by Murphy Anderson

Today, we do the same with a tale from DC's Strange Adventures!

Scripted by Gardner Fox, penciled by Gil Kane, and inked by Murphy Anderson, the cover-featured story from DC's Strange Adventures #159. (1963) has the same sort of "science can solve everything"-based optimism we saw a couple of years later on the original Star Trek TV series!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder AMAZING HIGH ADVENTURE "Saurian Remains"

In the 1980s, Marvel Launched a New Comic...

...an anthology dedicated to 1920s-50s pulp-style "high adventure" tales...but in comics form!













Is this fascinating tale historically-accurate?

The locations, institutions, and some of the characters are real!

There was a controversy in this era among paleontologists about properly-authenticating fossils!
But i don't know if things got as...violent...as presented here!

Only writer Stephen Perry and artist Stephen Bissette (along with Rick Veitch) would knoe the answer, and they've kept mum since the story's sole publication in Marvel's Amazing High Adventure #4 (1986), 40 years ago.
And, if they've kept quiet for almost four decades, I doubt they'll blab about it now...

Reading Room STRANGE TALES "Fear Walks on Four Feet!"

When a Never-Reprinted Story Comes to Our Attention...

...especially one about this month's featured subject, you can bet we're going to present it!

Scripted by Carl Wessler and illustrated by Al Eadeh, this entertaining featurette hasn't seen the light of day since it was published in Atlas' Strange Tales #51 (1958), almost 70 years ago!

And we're going to repeat this feat on Thursday, with another dinosaur-themed, never-reprinted, hidden gem, this time from DC!

Monday Mecha Madness SPIRIT OF FRANKENSTEIN "Dagget's Phantoms"

We Have Already Seen...

...disgruntled elderly Professor Lambert Pardway, working as an assistant to Doctor Daniel Warren, tricks Warren into implanting the dying Pardway's brain into an experimental android.

Before Pardway's brain can use the android body to destroy Warren and his girlfriend, it is "short circuited" by Warren...

Writer/editor Richard Hughes and artist Charles Sultan merrily combine science and the supernatural in this wild tale from ACG's Adventures into the Unknown #6 (1949), setting a tone that would countinue for the remainder of the series...

The Mid-Terms Are Coming! Nope! The Mid-Terms Are HERE...

And Your Voting Participation Will Have a Major Effect!

Sadly, this story, published over 75 years ago is as relevant today as it was in 1952, with the basic percentages of voter participation (actually lack of participation) unchanged!

...unless not enough of those heroes actually go to vote!

Here's a handy (very) basic guide...

Illustrated by Warren Kremer and Al Avision, this one-shot published by Harvey Comics in 1952 (76 years ago) was offered for only a couple of pennies a copy to any group (even Republicans) who wanted to utilize it to "get out the vote"!

Note: Our gratitude to the ever-amazing Kracalactaka for the full-color scans of this ultra-rare comic!

Unless you want things to stay as they are (or get worse)...if you're over 18 and under 110...

...GET OFF YOUR BUTT AND REGISTER TO VOTE!
