Wednesday Worlds of Wonder WOLFF "Manuscript of Rep-Tah"

When Last We Looked In on Our Favorite Post-Apocalyptic Barbarian...

...(except for Thundarr) rescued from wolves by a woman who calls herself Galadra, Wolff joins her on a quest...

From New England Library's Dracula #6 (1972), the Luis Gaska (aka Sadko) & Estaban Maroto series just gets weirder and even somewhat psychedelic!

It also looks like somebody lost track of who's who!

Galadra looks remarkably like Rulah, who enchanted Wolff, turning him into a werewolf!

Was it a error by translator Laurence James? 

(The original version of this story was in Spanish!)

Note: this tale concludes the six Wolff stories included in Warren's Dracula TPB.

The remainder of Wolff's adventures were never published in America, but we'll be presenting them here over the next few weeks.

BTW, here's the cover to this issue by Enrique Torres (aka Enrich) using horror icon Barbara Steele as Rulah/Galandra!
If his style looks familiar, he did a lot of covers for Warren Magazines in the 1970s!

Monday Madness REAGAN'S RAIDERS "...Back to Zero!" Part 1"

With Don da Con fantasizing he looks like Elvis Presley (presumably in his declining years)...

...let's look at a 38 year-old comic that, substituting today's 2024's senile, elderly, obese Republican for the 1980s model...could be published today!

Be here next Monday as the mayhem from the never-reprinted Solson's Reagan's Raiders #1 (1986) ensues and we present background info on writer/co-creator Monroe Arnold and his unusual connection to comics, as well as this little-known comic company with an amazing pedigree!

The Complete Series

Reading Room UNKNOWN WORLDS OF SCIENCE FICTION "Hunter and the Hunted"

This is a tale that requires careful study...

...since, according to it's author, only one person has ever figured it out on first reading!

Originally published in the one-shot fanzine Abyss in 1970, Marvel's Unknown Worlds of Science Fiction #2 (1975) reprinted the tale after it's writer-artist, Mike Kaluta gained pop culture fame as the illustrator of DC Comics' revival of the pulp hero The Shadow!

UWoSF Editor Roy Thomas commented that Kaluta “…congratulated [him] for being one of the few human beings he’s met who actually figured the story out on first reading.”

Have you figured it out, dear reader?

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder WOLFF "Lady of the Wolves"

When Last We Left Our Post-Apocalyptic Barbarian...

...he had been cursed to become a literal version of his name...a lycanthrope!

Is Wolff fated to repeat this nightmare whenever the Moon is full?

Or is there a way to defeat the curse?

While this chapter of the Wolff saga, written by Luis Gasca (aka Sadko) & Estaban Maroto and illustrated by Maroto from New English Library's Dracula #5 (1972) leaves us hanging, the next chapter will offer an answer...though it might not be one Wolff likes!

Space Hero & Heroine Saturdays ALIEN: THE ILLUSTRATED STORY

On our fellow Retroblog, Secret Sanctum of Captain Video™, we presented the original, 1979 version of the classic movie adaptation graphic novel by Archie Goodwin and Walt Simonson.

Yes, there were comic book and magazine adaptations (You've seen a number of them on Secret Sanctum of Captain Video™), but this was a one-shot trade paperback of all-new material based on a movie!

Officially called Heavy Metal presents ALIEN: the Illustrated Story, it was a major hit for the infant Heavy Metal publishing group spun off from National Lampoon.
And if Ripley, Dallas, Parker, Brett, Kane, and Lambert don't qualify as Space Heroes/Heroines, nobody does!
There's a new edition of this landmark, long-out-of-print, graphic novel, scanned and mastered directly from the original art still in Walt Simonson's possession, and you can order it below...

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder WOLFF "Night of the WereWolf"

When Last We Left Our Favorite Post-Apocalyptic Barbarian...

...well, that turn of events doesn't sound promising, does it?

I don't remember this sort of thing ever happening to Conan!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder WOLFF "Sorceress of the Red Mist"

Return to the barbaric, post-apocalyptic future Earth of Wolff...

...where technology and magic are both considered "dark arts" by the majority of inhabitants of this barbaric future!
Yeah, we know we said it before, but it bears repeating!

Esteban Maroto rendered this tale, co-written by Luis "Sadko" Gaska, from New England Library's Dracula #3 (1971) with his usual superb storytelling and masterful linework.

Not sure who colored it, though..
