Space Hero Saturdays 50s FUNNIES "Spaced Rat-Pol"

A somewhat-snarky look at a 1950s sci-fi comic...

...from a 1980s perspective (which you're reading in the 2020s), by writer-penciler Dave Hunt and inker Alfredo Alcala.

Doesn't get much more "meta" than that, gang!

This impressive (and never-reprinted) parody of EC's Weird Science/Weird Fantasy/Weird Science-Fantasy/Incredible Science Fiction is from Kitchen Sink Press' 50s Funnies (1980), which was a one-shot anthology with an impressive list of contributors included Steve Bissette, William Stout, Rick Veitch, Will Meugniot, John Totleben, and Scott Shaw!
(Trivia: The "!" is actually part of Scott's name, legally!).

50s Funnies

Friday Fun ARRGH! "Bugged!"

When I lived full-time in NYC, this was probably my #1 problem...

...in every apartment I lived in, and this never-reprinted tale from Marvel's ARRGH! #2 (1975) really hit home!

Written by longtime NYC resident Russ Jones (as "Jack Younger") and illustrated by Alfredo Alcala, this terrifying tale predates Stephen King's Creepshow segment "They're Creeping Up on You!"...

...by over half a decade!
(The page above is from the tie-in graphic novel adapted by King from his screenplay and illustrated by Berni [Swamp Thing] Wrightson!)
