Space Force Saturdays SPACE PATROL "Gambling Den of Space"

Here's a tale featuring an evil Plutonian who runs a mobile gambling den...

...which stays in unclaimed space like today's gambling ships anchor in international waters offshore from seaports.

(BTW, Does Kodi look like a prototype for Star Trek: the Next Generation's Ferengi?)

Alien subordinate with weird ears who's smarter than the series' human hero refusing a command of his own?
Who does that remind you of?
Hint: Classic STAR TREK!!!
The multi-talented Basil Wolverton wrote, illustrated, lettered, and probably colored, this tale from Centaur's Amazing Mystery Funnies #22 (1940).

Space Force Saturdays SPACE PATROL "Pirates of Mercury"

Now here's a series I'd love to see a live-action version of...

...using state-of-the-art CGI for the SFX and aliens!

The multi-talented Basil Wolverton wrote, illustrated, lettered, and probably colored, this tale from Amazing Mystery Funnies #19 (1940).

It's one of the first of the "law enforcement in space" sci-fi sub-genre that prospered in pulp and comic sci-fi in the 1930s and 40s, and carried over to TV in the 1950s.

Note: the 1950s TV/radio series Space Patrol was not based on Wolverton's strip.

(Could you imagine them trying to do Wolverton's aliens using 1950s-level makeup techniques?)

Space Force Saturdays SPACE PATROL "Vengeance on Venus"

There have been numerous "Space Patrol" series in pop culture...

...as far as I can tell, this is the first!

As was typical in such series of the period, the non-human is the sidekick, but he is treated as an equal.

The Space Patrol was more a para-military organization than just a police force, occasionally engaging in pitched battles involving fleets of spaceships.

This premiere tale from Centaur's Amazing Mystery Funnies V2N12 (1939) was written and illustrated by Basil Wolverton, easily one of the most idiosyncratic creators ever to work in comics, and a major artistic influence on the underground comics of the 1960s-80s.

Nick Nelson and Kodi traversed the Solar System for a half-dozen tales before disappearing into the ether.

You'll see them all over the next couple of months

Space Force Saturdays SPACE PATROL "Stranded on the Sands of Mars"

Since it's Halloween Eve we're offering a preview of our next Saturday feature...

...this strip, which was the first of numerous unrelated series in various media to use the title "Space Patrol", including three different TV series!

Nobody could combine horror and sci-fi like Wolverton...as we showed HERE!

The multi-talented Basil wrote, illustrated, lettered, and probably colored, this wild tale from Amazing Mystery Funnies #23 (1940).

I'd love to see someone animate these classics of surreal storytelling.

As promised, the final, unused image...

...from the mini-series, illustrated by comics legend Basil Wolverton, about the Bible's Book of Revelations, which seems to depict Don da Con's term in office with frightening accuracy!

America's Future?

Is this our future...

...thanks to the ineptitude of Don da Con?

Legendary artist Basil Wolverton did these illustrations for articles in a religious organization's magazine about the Book of Revelations.

They were later compiled, along with others, into a multi-volume version of the Bible which covered from Genesis to Revelations by that same organization!

Be here Tuesday as we reveal the final image in the series that was so shocking, the editors initially refused to publish it!

Wolverton Bible

(which takes the HTF 1970s multi-volume series and reprints it in a single hardcover book!)

Compiled and edited by Wolverton's son, Monte, the 304-page Bible Stories includes all of Wolverton's artwork for the Worldwide Church of God project.

Recording artist and noted EC Comics authority Grant Geissman (Tales of Terror: The E.C. Companion and Foul Play!: The Art and Artists of the Notorious 1950s E.C. Comics!) provides an insightful foreword, while Monte Wolverton delivers commentary and background in the introduction and in each section.

This volume is authorized and commissioned by the Worldwide Church of God and endorsed by the Wolverton family.

BTW, Many of the illustrations (some never previously-published) are regarded as Basil Wolverton's finest work.

America Under Donald Trump!

Is a potential future becoming our present...

...thanks to the incompetence of Don da Con?
