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

Monday Madness VIDEO JACK "Pilot Error" Conclusion

We Have Already Seen...

...it's the 1980s and Jack, the ultimate pop-culture nerd, is about to interact with tv in a way he never expected...

Before that, we want to let you know that we'd be happy to continue the funky adventures of Video Jack--if you tell us you want it!

So let us know by Saturday night, because we'll be preparing the next installment of Monday Madness on Sunday!

Update: If you came here earlier, you may have noticed there wasn't a link to the previous chapter, nor a synopsis.

That's because Blogger's altering of the creation interface caused serious glitches, and after almost two hours, I finally got the images uploaded and clicked "post" not realizing I still hadn't done those items!
My bad.😡

Plotted and penciled by Keith Giffen, scripted by Cary Bates, and inked by Dave Hunt, the never-reprinted Epic's Video Jack #1 (1987) is truly a product of its' time!

Note that, unlike today, pop-culture aficionados were scorned as geeks and nerds (What a great name for a movie or tv series!) and considered social outcasts!

How times have changed...

Max Headroom's Guide to Life

Monday Madness VIDEO JACK "Pilot Error" Part 1

You know it's a story from the 1980s...

...when the book's editor deliberately looks like, and mentions, Max Headroom!

With that context, let's time-travel back to that era, when MTV dominated the airwaves with actual music videos, the internet was in its' infancy (no streaming video), video tapes were state-of-the-art to watch movies/tv shows, and a 27" TV screen was considered HUGE...

On the contrary, from the 1960s to the present, some kids have been all-but reared by television!

To be continued...

NEXT MONDAY!
