Reading Room: ABRAHAM LINCOLN: LIFE STORY "Part 4"

When Last We Left the Young Man Who Will be President...

From the day of his birth, Abraham Lincoln's life was a mixture of triumph and tragedy.

Now a young man in his mid-20s, he goes off to seek employment working on the Mississippi River...

We'll continue with Lincoln's political campaign...

TOMORROW !

This section of Dell's never-reprinted one-shot Abraham Lincoln: Life Story (1958) was written by Gaylord DuBois, and illustrated by Alberto Giolitti, known to American comics readers as the primary illustrator of the Gold Key Star Trek comic book of the 1960s-70s.

Note: the story is over 80 pages, so it's going to run through Friday.

But it's a story worth telling, especially with a new Steven Spielberg-directed feature film starring Daniel Day-Lewis as Honest Abe currently out in limited run, so I'm going ahead and I hope you'll join me.

When Last We Left the Young Man Who Will Be President...

From the day of his birth, Abraham Lincoln's life was a mixture of triumph and tragedy.

Moving constantly to find better-quality farmland, the Lincoln family endured hardship due to famines and floods.

Eventually, they found themselves on the very edge of America's Western frontier, where they were able to settle for an extended period, but at a terrible cost...the life of their beloved mother due to "milk sickness, which forced the two Lincoln children to accept adult responsibilities much earlier than they normally would have to.
When their father remarried, the children acquired both a new mother and three siblings...

The Saga continues...Monday!

When Last We Left the Boy Who Would Become Our Greatest President...

From the day of his birth, Abraham Lincoln's life was a mixture of triumph and tragedy.

Moving constantly to find better-quality farmland, the Lincoln family endured hardship due to famines and floods.

Eventually, they found themselves on the very edge of America's Western frontier...

"Milk-sickness" was caused by drinking the milk of cows who had ingested plants that, while harmless to bovines, was lethal to humans.

The Saga continues...Tomorrow!

This section of Dell's never-reprinted one-shot Abraham Lincoln: Life Story (1958) was written by Gaylord DuBois, penciled by John Buscema, and inked by Alberto Giolitti.

Buscema would pencil the remainder of this chapter about Lincoln's boyhood, then Giolitti would assume both pencil and ink tasks for most of the remainder of the book, up until the final few pages detailing Lincoln's assassination, which Buscema penciled.

Note: the story is over 80 pages, so it's going to run through next Friday.

But it's a story worth telling, especially with a new Steven Spielberg-directed feature film starring Daniel Day-Lewis as Honest Abe coming out tomorrow, so I'm going ahead and I hope you'll join me.

Reading Room: ABRAHAM LINCOLN: LIFE STORY "Part 1"

After one of the most divisive Presidental campaigns in history...

 It's time to look at the man whom most believe was the Greatest President of All!

Note: For the politically-correct, this all-ages story may be NSFW, due to it's referring to slaves as "Negro" rather than "Black" or "African-American".

When the story was produced in 1958, the politically-correct term was, in fact, "Negro".

Reading Room: EXPLORERS IN THE UNKNOWN "Manhunt in Space"

These are the voyages of the Hunter I, it's ongoing mission...

...to fill four pages per issue of Gold Key's Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.

Starting with this story in VttBotS #6 (1966), the Hunter I crew had adventures set in the near-future of the late 1990s-early 2000s, much like then-current films like Green Slime, Wild Wild Planet, and Battle in Outer Space.

With only four pages per issue, there was little character development (or even names) for the crew, but lots of action!

The entire never-reprinted series was written by Dick Wood, and this first tale was illustrated by the Alberto Giolitti Studio.

If that name is familiar, Alberto Giolitti (and his studio) handled the art for the first few years of Gold Key's Star Trek comic from #3 to #39, as well as numerous other movie/tv tie-ins.
