Space Celebration Saturday COMICO CHRISTMAS SPECIAL "Traditions Everlasting"

Beneath this never-reprinted Dave Stevens cover...
...lies the polar opposite of the cynical Christmas tale we told yesterday!
See?
There is hope for Christmas (if not humanity) after all!
Written by Doug Wheeler, illustrated by Steve Rude and Bret Blevins, this cover-featured tale from Comico Christmas Special #1 (1988) is this perfect closer to our little blogathon of Christmas-themed stories!
Now get out there, finish your last-minute shopping, and spend the evening with the family!
Space Hero/Heroine Saturdays will return after the New Year!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder HUNT BOWMAN IN THE LOST WORLD Part 1B

When Last We Left Our Hero...

...he's the Buck Rogers-ripoff "astronaut frozen and defrosted centuries later in a post-apocalyptic Earth" guy underneath this incredibly-kool Dave Stevens cover, which is based very loosely on what's about to occur in the story...
Computer system...in a cave?
The cliches just keep coming!
While writer Bruce Jones has done some absolutely spectacular work in comics, I'd say this is not one of his award-winning moments!
Clearly, the Dave Stevens cover (above) is the reason Blackthorne's Planet Comics V2N1 (1988) is $50 (or more) on the back-issue market!
Note also that Stevens did exactly what the original Fiction House Planet Comics' cover artists did in the 1940s...take a plot element and hyper-cheesecake it!
(Not that I'm complaining...)
Nonetheless, if you want to see what develops, be here next Wednesday.
Warning: the remaining issues do not have Dave Stevens covers!
Please Support Atomic Kommie Comics!
Visit Amazon and Buy...
Out of Print 12x18" book of frameable full-page cheesecake posters taken directly from Stevens' original art used for comic and book covers...including the Planet Comics cover...without any logos or lettering!
