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!

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!

Friday Fun WHACK! "Ghastly Dee-fective Comics"

Get out your red/blue 3-D glasses (red on the left, blue on the right)...

 ...as we present a never-reprinted tale co-created by Joe Kubert!

This satirical, silly story, penciled by Norman Maurer and inked by Joe Kubert for St John's Whack! #1 (1953), was was especially-designed for use as a 3-D story (unlike some comic tales that were adapted from 2-D to 3-D during the 1950s 3-D craze.) 

Whack! was one of numerous MAD comic book clones that popped up in the early 1950s.

Space Hero Satudays BRANT CRAIG: INTERPLANETARY DETECTIVE "Space Pirates of Lanthus IV"

He's not the first "Interplanetary Detective"...

...that honor goes to Planet Comics' Fero: Planetary Detective (who went "inter"planetary in his second appearance)!

But Brant Craig was the longest-lasting, with seven appearances!

Yeah, let's not worry about the innocent spacemen who were just killed during this raid, or their families.

They're just collateral damage...

This never-reprinted premiere from Youthful's Captain Science #2 (1951) was probably illustrated by Bill Molno.

The writer is unknown.

Brant Craig continued through the remaining five issues of Captain Science.

When the book was re-titled Fantastic, Brant (and Captain Science) made their final bows in the first issue.

Robot Reading Room ROBOTMEN OF THE LOST PLANET "Chapter Three: Rise of the Humans!"

When Last We Left What Remains of Humanity...

Don't you love it when the story synopsizes itself?

(Note that inside front cover illustrator Mort Lawrence did an excellent job matching story artist Gene Fawcette's art style!)

So there's at least one universe where we don't end up enslaved by machines!

Yay!

This 1952 one-shot title from Avon Comics was scripted by Walter (The Shadow) Gibson and rendered by Gene Fawcette.

Avon did an amazing amount of one-time-only titles, probably more than any other publisher.

Some were adaptations of novels Avon's paperback division had published, like An Earth Man on Venus.

Others, like RobotMen, were original stories!
