It's the 20th Anniversary of Sin City, and the 10th Anniversary of Sin City: A Dame to Kill For...

...but do I really need an excuse to run these kool, rarely-seen pix?

Friday Holiday...FUN? "Twas the Night Before Christmas"

Long before he was famous...

...a certain now-legendary writer-artist was just another aspiring young comics creator presenting work in fanzines to show people what he could do!
Before The Dark Knight Returns!
Before 300!
Before Sin City!
Here's Frank Miller murdering Santa Claus!
A never-reprinted tale from the incredibly-HTF fanzine APAFive #39 (1974)!
A sign of things to come?

Space Hero Saturdays TALES TO OFFEND "Lance Blastoff on the Dinosaur Planet"

Here's what a veteran of Don the Con's Space Force might be like...
...when he goes "independent contractor" after his tour of duty!
Lance Blastoff was Frank (Do I really have to tell you?) Miller's "redneck space hero" satire.
Though this tale first appeared in Dark Horse Presents #100 (1995), we're running the reprint from Dark Horse's Tales to Offend (1997) since it's in glorious full color by Marie Severin.
(The first appearance was b/w)
27 years later, he's the very embodiment of Don the Con's "Deplorables" set in an EC-style future!
He smokes!
He drinks!
He swears!
He lies to women...and they love it!
He's Lance Blastoff, and he says, "Get it while you can get it, then get going while the going's good!"
Lance Blastoff: Role model for the next millennium!
