Monday Mars Madness MARS ATTACKS "Martians Approaching"

We Have Already Seen...

Art by Wally Wood, Bob Powell and Norm Saunders

...do we really have to explain this?

I mean, "Martians Approaching" truly says it all!

Co-writer Bruce Spaulding Fuller takes over the art from Greg Capullo, going even gorier than the original card set!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder SILVER SURFER: THE ULTIMATE COSMIC EXPERIENCE Part 3

When Last We Left the Skyrider of the Spaceways...

...though he lost the battle against Galactus, the Silver Surfer's rebellion caused Galactus to spare the Earth so he could imprison the Surfer on it.

The tale now diverges totally from the story we've known since 1966...going off on previously-unseen pathways...

Needless to say...

TO BE CONTINUED

Next Wednesday!

The Ultimate Cosmic Experience graphic novel was based on an unproduced screenplay for a Silver Surfer feature film with Olivia Newton-John as Ardina.

But who would've been the other new major character; Master of Guile?

I think I know...Vladek Sheybal!

Well-known for villain portrayals in From Russia with Love and the original Casino Royale, Sheybal had expanded to sympathetic roles like SHADO medical officer Dr. Jackson on UFO.

And this clip from the little-seen The Apple (produced in the late 1970s) shows he could carry a tune.

And doesn't the Master of Guile look like Sheybal?

Monday Mars Madness MARS ATTACKS "Invasion Begins"

When Last We Left the Inhabitants of the Red Planet...

...oh, yeah!

That's what's happening!

Now, who could argue with that?

To Be Continued in...
"Martians Approaching!"

Next Monday!

Written by Mario A Bruni and Bruce Spaulding Fuller and illustrated by Greg Capullo, each issue of the mini-comic (3"x4.5", the size of the actual trading cards) told the story of a particular card, in this case, Card #1 "The Invasion Begins"!
Note: with the exception of the cover and first page, the scans above are of two-page spreads which actually makes their original image size 6"x4.5"!
These never-reprinted comics were published two issues at a time in the same sort of boxes the original trading cards came in.
Sadly, only four issues in two box sets came out before the project ended. 
Both of the writers were contributors to Gore Shriek, which still exists on the 'Net!
Artist Greg Capullo has gone on to a long, illustrious career at Marvel, Image, and DC!

Friday Fun 50s FUNNIES "Hot Sox the Teenage Devil Delinquent! in 'I Sold My Soul for Rock'N'Roll!' "

He's not who you think...

...he's a lot snarkier, but still PG-13, so kids can read him!

But he's not Comics Code-approved!

You've been warned!

As you may have guessed, Hot Sox was a parody of...

..."taken to 11" as they said in This is Spinal Tap!

Written by Larry Shell & Scott Shaw! and illustrated by Shaw! (Yes, the "!" is part of his name), he made his one and only appearance in Kitchen Sink Press' 50s Funnies (1980), a one-shot (and never-reprinted) anthology about (you guessed it) 1950s pop culture...from a 1980s viewpoint!
The impressive list of contributors included Steve Bissette, William Stout, Rick Veitch, Will Meugniot, John Totleben, and Alfredo Alcala!
