Monday Mecha Madness NEUTRO "Captured by 777"

When Last We Saw Neutro...

Two American scientists had reassembled the parts of a giant automoton left in the Southwest over a century earlier by aliens for reasons unknown...for now!

However, unfriendly governments know of the robot, and seek to possess it!

We'll Never Know What Happens Next!

Written by editor D J Arneson and illustrated by Jack Sparling, Dell's Neutro #1 (1967) was meant to be an ongoing series, but never made it past the first issue.
Whether any work at all was done on a second issue is unknown!

Monday Monster Madness DRACULA, FRANKENSTEIN, and "WEREWOLF"...as SUPERHEROES???

we warned you...

Our "brother" RetroBlog, Hero Histories, has the complete runs of the swinging Sixties superhero incarnations of Frankenstein, Dracula, and WolfMan, (which was retitled "Werewolf" due to trademark conflicts).

Did you know writer/editor DJ Arneson and artist Tony Tallarico put Universal Monster SuperHero Universe references within the three series?
Was a crossover team-up or battle planned...but not published?

If that doesn't scare your pants off, nothing will!

Friday Fun GRIN "Knowstalgia!"

From the short-lived MAD clone GRIN...

comes this "what the future will be like" feature which we're looking at from the future they "predicted"!

Illustrated by Al Scaduto and likely written by D J Arneson, this never-reprinted feature from the final issue of APAG House's GRIN (#3 in 1973) combines both topical humor and predictions about the future including technology, morals, and behavior that are amazingly-off from what actually happened!

Monday Madness FLYING SAUCERS "Far Out Physical"

To wind up this month of flying saucer fun...

...here's a long-unseen tale with a decidedly-different approach to the aliens!

You'll note that the aliens' world balloons are left blank!

Editor Don (D J) Arneson wrote all the stories in the four-issue run of Dell's Flying Saucers, also making sure the various artists presented a fairly-consistent "look" to the aliens.
(Note: the series ran five issues, but the fifth was a reprint of #1)
In the case of this tale from #1 (1967), Sam Glanzman brought his realistic, natural style to a story using many of the already-established elements of UFO lore.
Trivia: Both Dell and Gold Key produced anthology comics about alien visitors and their kitchenware-shaped vessels during this period.
Gold Key's UFO: Flying Saucers ran for twenty five issues, changing to UFO and Outer Space as of #14!
