Reading Room NIGHT OF MYSTERY "Giant from Earth!"

Though this never-reprinted tale appeared in a one-shot 1950s horror anthology comic book...

...it's really a straight sci-fi tale with no horror elements whatsoever!

I can't be certain, but it looks like the artists for this tale from Avon's Night of Mystery (1953) are Mike Sekowsky (pencils) and Frank Giacoia, Joe Giella, or Bernard Sachs (inks).

Reading Room STRANGE ADVENTURES "Radioactive Invasion of Earth!"

Remember when obsessed sci-fi toy collectors almost doomed the Earth...

...and only rock and roll music could save us?
No?
Good thing we're here to remind you...

Writer Gardner Fox was noted for his scientific accuracy and meticulously-plotted stories.

So why did he have scientists handling radioactive material without protective clothing or shielding?

Otherwise, this tale from DC's Strange Adventures #84 (1957) makes total, logical, sense!

Note: the story, penciled by Sid Greene and inked by Bernard Sachs has only been reprinted once, in Showcase Presents Strange Adventures Volume 2 (2013), and only in black and white!

Wonder why they're keeping it so well hidden?

Think about that next time you're ordering toys from Sideshow or some other vendor...and note if the toys give off a weird, unearthly glow...

Reading Room LOST WORLDS "Space Race"

If you think a high-speed auto race is fun...

...what if the race was between high-speed spacecraft?

This is the sort of story that proves the trope that most sci-fi of the Golden Age was just re-written Western stories.

Replace the horse or stagecoach with a spaceship, six-shooters with ray blasters, and Indians with aliens, and voila, a sci-fi story!

This never-reprinted tale from Lost Worlds #6 (1954) was penciled by John Celardo and inked by Bernard Sachs.
The writer is unknown.
