Wednesday Worlds of Wonder WOLFRAM "Kyballium Odyssey"

As We Have Seen HERE and HERE, Reality is Sorta...Flexible...

...and is going to get even more so by the end of this tale!
You'll be seeing these two kids, along with others from earlier chapters, in the final entry of the series
NEXT WEDNESDAY!
Written and illustrated by Eric Puech, this story from the French anthology USA magazine hors-série #3 (1989) was cut into two segments when it was translated into English and printed in Marvel UK's anthology Strip #16 and 17 (1990).

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder WOLFRAM "PlanetFall"

...this story does, in fact, tie-in to last week's tale...somehow!

Published as the second story arc in Marvel UK's anthology magazine Strip #14 & 15 (1990), this tale, writen and illustrated by Eric Puech, originally appeared in 1988 in the premiere issue of the French anthology USA magazine hors-série as a standalone tale entitled ""Le retour de la guerre des mondes" ("The Return of the War of the Worlds"), before the "Legend of Wolfram" tale we ran last week!
(That one was in #2 of 
USA magazine hors-série!)
How does it all fit together?
Or are we giving a whole new meaning to "Worlds of Wonder"?

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder WOLFRAM "Legend of Wolfram"

For November, we're running a never-seen-in-America story that.combines genres...

...the way a fusion restaurant combines cuisines!
Note: When this was originally-published in the French comic anthology USA magazine hors-série #2 (1988), this was one long story.
When it was translated and used in the British comic anthology Marvel UK's Strip (1990) it was broken into two parts running in issues 13 & 14.

You may well ask "What the hell is going on?"
Only writer-artist Eric Puech knows!
You'll have to be here next Wednesday to see what happens next!
Warning...it ain't what you think!

Monday Maternity Madness CHOICES "People Like This Really Exist!"

It's sad and amazing how this strip from 1990 by writer/artist Nina Paley...

...is so relevant (and accurate) today, 24 years later!

From Isis Press' Choices: a Pro-Choice Benefit Comic for the Anthology National Organization for Women, produced to raise money after the Supreme Court ruling of Webster V Reproductive Health Services (1989) began the re-imposition of limits to the rights of women over their own bodies!

Monday Maternity Madness CHOICES "Right to Strife"


While some may claim this one-pager by writer/artist Harry S Robins from Angry Isis Press' Choices: a Pro-Choice Benefit Comic for the Anthology National Organization for Women (1990) is a grossly-exaggerated parody of the Reich-wing mentality of the anti-choice mob, I can confirm from personal observation of some of their protests that it is only slightly-exaggerated.

Monday Maternity Madness CHOICES "Burning Issue: a True Story"

The ruling made by the Supreme Court repealing Roe V Wade two years ago seems inevitable...

...when you are dealing with religious fanatics who believe America should be like this!

Nope, this isn't all of America...yet!
But we're sure as Hell headed there as our own conservative religious fundamentalists start dominating the government!

There will be more in the coming weeks!

Monday Maternity Madness CHOICES "Some Words From the Guys in Charge"

Want to bet all these characters are based on Republican politicians of the 1990s?

And, note that they are, of course, all males, not "men" in any meaningful sense of the word, just like most current Republican politicians!
For the record, the late writer/artist Howard Cruse was a man, unlike Repug VP candidate JD Vance or Prez candidate Don (da Con) Trump!

Monday Madness MAD-DOG "Rabid"

He is The Hero We Need NOW...

...at least, that's what they thought in 1992, according to Ace Comics' editor Harlan Stone.
Writer Evan Dorkin, penciler Gordon Pucell, and inker Ray McCarthy play along with the premise of the short-lived TV 1990s series BOB (starring Bob Newhart) about a Silver Age comic character being revived in the Dark Age of the 1990s.
Editor Harlan Stone, mentioned above, is the character on the show who supports reimagining the Adam West-Batman-like Mad-Dog as a psychopathic killer vigilante, which Mad-Dog's creator, Bob McKay, hates, as shown in this "behind the scenes" page...
So, Stone proposes this comic (published by Marvel) which will present both versions!
You can read Bob McKay's upbeat Silver Age version right now over at our 'brother" RetroBlog Hero Histories by clicking HERE!
And you can watch (yes, watch) the series' origin story at another "brother" RetroBlog, Secret Sanctum of Captain Video, by clicking HERE!
