Reading Room EERIE ADVENTURES "Perfect Hideout!"

It's a sci-fi tale...

...a horror story...

...a parable about how crime never pays!

...it's all these things...and more!

Illustrated by Gerald McCann, this tale from Ziff-Davis' one-shot Eerie Adventures (1951) shares a title with several other 1940s-50s tales from other publishers.

But none of the others were sci-fi, just standard "crime does not pay"-style tales...

Roosevelt Reading Room WORLD AROUND US "Rough Rider"

The World Around Us educational comic series devoted its' 21st issue to American Presidents...

..and while some Presidents received single-page treatments, both the Roosevelts got multi-page stories!

Here's Teddy's tale..

It's interesting to contrast this version with the other Teddy tale from Life Stories of American Presidents, noting what both stories cover and what each leaves out that the other version mentions!

Several artists contributed to this tale, including George Evans, Norman Nodel, and Gerald McCann.

But we're not sure who penciled and/or inked which pages.

The World Around Us editors were notorious for making extensive editorial changes in the name of historical accuracy, and if the original artist didn't have the time to do corrections, the editors would corral whoever was in the office to redraw art.

Reading Room: "Cargo from Mars"

A non-sensationalistic title hides a damned good story...

...that appeared in back of a famous one-shot comic book.

Illustrated by Gerald McCann, this well-written little tale was hidden in the back of this 1952 book...

...noted for it's rather silly-looking robots based on this toy, known as "Popping Martian", "Panic Pete", or "Bug-Out Bob"!

Be here tomorrow when we present part one of the cover-featured robot apocalypse along with a secret connection to a legendary pulp hero!
