Wednesday Worlds of Wonder CRASH RYAN "Doomsday Eve" Conclusion

We Have Already Seen...

In 1930s Central America, itinerant pilot "Crash" Ryan flies boring airmail runs...until he's cought in a dogfight between two futuristic aircraft and is drawn into a conflict between secret super-science-equipped organizations, the apparently-benevolent United Airmen and bad guys led by a masked madman known only as The Doom!
Both groups seek to recruit him!
But if he refuses to work for The Doom, the would-be tyrant wants him dead!
To Be Continued...in the Near Future!
And, like Jimmy Kimmel telling us he couldn't fit Matt Damon into that night's episode, this was so jam-packed we couldn't fit the background info we promised!
So, next week, a Worlds of Wonder first!
An entire post of background material, including lots of kool retro graphics!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder CRASH RYAN "Doomsday Eve" Part 1

This May Look Like a Typical Setting for a Retro-Kool High-Adventure Tale...

...but as you'll see, this ain't your grandparents' 1930s!
It's truly a World of Wonder!
To Be Continued...Next Wednesday!
You may well ask...
WTF???
Writer/artist Ron Harris, fresh off a run on Star Trek: the Newspaper Strip, has the explanation!
We don't have the time or space to explain here, but next week, you'll see examples of the named influences on Harris' retro-future project!

Monday Madness VIDEO JACK "Pilot Error" Conclusion

...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!

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!
