The RetroBlogs Keep On Marching Along...

Modesty Blase Has Competed Her Assignment!

The never-reprinted 1994 graphic novel based on Peter O'Donnell's first Modesty Blaise book, which provided about as much a basis for the 1966 movie as Ian Fleming's Casino Royale did for the 1967 flick based on that novel began running last week!!

Part 1, Part 1.5, Part 2, Conclusion

With the movie Fantastic Four: First Flight finally incorporating the characters into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we're presenting this long-OOP (almost a half-century) premiere prose novel (as compared to graphic novel) featuring both the protagonists and one of the antagonists of the flick by long-time comics scribe Marv Wolfman right here at

The RetroBlogs "Time-Lost" Summer Blogathon Continues on the Sizzling-Hot Sands of the Wild West with...

Sheriff Kitty Carson

...the saga of a woman alone upholding law and order, written and illustrated by comics legend Bob Powell, unseen for over seventy-five years, but re-presented in a week-long crossover between...
Heroines
and
Western Comics Adventures
Starting Monday!

There's MORE Tales to Tell in Our 2024 Summer "Time-Lost" RetroBlogs Blogathon!

We've decided we really don't need Vitamin D from sunshine when we can get it from pills, so...

If you liked our re-presentation on
Secret Sanctum of Captain Video
about "Pryde of the X-Men" (including the cartoon itself), we're re-presenting the limited-edition, never-reprinted comic that accompanied the video game Madness in MurderWorld!, which utilized the heroes and villains from that cartoon!

And, as a bonus, some of the kool stuff from the operations manual for the game, which tells you...

Wise advice, that!

In addition...

...we're also adding the never-reprinted Silver Age adventures of Charlton's Judomaster in

Pop Art Martial Arts

Plus...

...the saga of a woman alone upholding law and order in the West, written and illustrated by comics legend Bob Powell, unseen for over seventy-five years in a crossover between...
Heroines
and
Western Comics Adventures
That's in addition to...

To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of The Shadow (the Movie), a re-presentation of the 2-issue adaptation of the film by the man who visually-defined He Who Knows What Evil Lurks for several generations of readers, Mike Kaluta (along with writer Joel Goss)...plus we're providing comparisons between the comic and the movie (with film clips) in...

Crime and Punishment!
Next:

We're doing an intra-blog crossover right here at Atomic Kommie Comics between Wednesday Worlds of Wonder and Space Heroine Saturdays with a graphic novel featuring the interstellar adventures of StarFawn by writer Byron Preiss and illustrator Stephen Fabian...unseen since 1976!

(That's almost half a century!)
Plus:

Travel back almost a full century (1936) to the origin of the first (radio/movie serial/Golden Age) Green Hornet and Kato in a time-lost tale from 1991!
Confused?
You won't be after you read it in
Crime and Punishment!

And, Of Course...

...There'll be a Book-Length Gothic "Beach Read" Novel from half a century ago in

True Love Comics Tales

It's Gonna be a Sizzling Summer!

(Not that we'll know, since we'll be sitting indoors with air conditioning!)

Black Angel vs the KKK!

Can this African-American/Native-American Aviatrix Take On the Klan?

You Bet Your A$$ She CAN!

Check her out on Monday, at

Who is...BLACK ANGEL aka BLACK SQUAW???

...and why is she called that???

She's the kool character you've likely never heard of...even though there are four graphic novels starring her!

Inspired by a TRUE story!
Discover her secret at HEROINES on February 5th!

November: the Month Betty Boop Returns...

Legendary cartoon character Betty Boop returns to pop culture prominence in a big way...

...a live-action musical!

(Hey, it worked for Little Orphan Annie!)

Photo: Mark Seliger

Starring Broadway veteran Jasmine Amy Rogers as the embodiment of Betty,

the show looks like an absolute hoot!

With award-winning creatives handling writing, directing, and production

(including effects like transitioning the cast and sets from black and white to color on stage), the production should appeal to old (who remember the cartoons) and young, who will be introed to the pop art icon!
As for us, we're turning our "sister" RetroBlog, Heroines, over to Betty for November, beginning tomorrow with Betty's first comic strip...which wasn't really her strip!

(Don't worry, we'll explain tomorrow!)
The week of November 13th, you'll see the appropriately-entitled 1990 one-shot comic...

by comics pros (and major Betty-philes) Leslie Carbaga, Joshua Quaqmire, and Milton Knight!
Finally, starting the day after Boop! the Musical's November 19th premiere, you'll see the first couple of months of Betty's actual comic strip!

Check Out
Heroines!
starting tomorrow
and, if you're in the Chicago area over Thanksgiving, see
Boop! the Musical!
