Have A SUPER Summer with RetroBlogs Blogathons!

We've already begun...
...as the CW's favorite heroine, Supergirl, discovers summer camp is anything but fun!
Next week...
More Supergirl fun as we re-present one of her wildest, never-reprinted, adventures!
PLUS: Superman experiences the Kryptonian version of Covid-19 in the first chapter of a never-reprinted, multi-part saga at Hero Histories!

Stay Safe by Sheltering in Place with RetroBlogs' Summer Blogathons...

...we'll keep you entertained with time-lost rare and never-reprinted tales you'll find only at...
...our newest RetroBlog
Plus...
...controversial Western tales featuring TV's Confederate protagonists the Gray Ghost and the Rebel at
and
Barbaric action in the Conan/Kull tradition at
...along with the already-announced
Perry Mason...whose never-reprinted comic books will show you why the new HBO series is closer than you think to the early novels!
Check out
Crime & Punishment
for his hard-boiled adventures!
And, to make it a Super-Summer Blogathon...
The book-length saga of Superman dying from "Virus X" was one of the classic (and often reprinted) Silver Age tales of the Man of Steel!
But. that's not what we're showing...since it's been reprinted numerous times over the years (and deservedly so)!
Did you know it was re-conceived as an expanded, multi-part, never-reprinted, story in Action Comics several years later?
That's what you'll see at
Hero Histories
in July!
Plus, we're presenting not one, but two Blogathons featuring the Man of Steel's cousin in stories unseen for 50 years!

Several of Supergirl's (somewhat kinky) romances in
True Love Comics Tales!
And...

The Maiden of Might's weirdest, wildest adventures in
Heroines!
There's still more (we have to keep you entertained and safe), but you'll have to be back next Sunday to find out about them...

The Summer Blogathons Return...

Yep, it's that time of year, when Atomic Kommie Comics present...
The RetroBlog Summer Blogathon!
...featuring batches of fascinating stuff from our vaults (almost all never-reprinted), in one or two-week blocks of daily entries, giving you a chance to sit back and enjoy complete stories that you haven't seen in years...or have only heard about, but never read, like...
Perry Mason...whose never-reprinted comic books will show you why the new HBO series is closer than you think to the early novels!
Check out Crime & Punishment for his hard-boiled adventures!
And to make it a Super-Summer Blogathon...

CoronaVirus Comics...Because Somebody Has to Take Your Minds Off the Current Disaster...

...by presenting tales of fictional epidemics both on this blog...
...and our other RetroBlogs, including...
(you'd be amazed at how many romance comics stories involve disease)...
...Heroines...
...and, this week, the remainder of the RetroBlogs will have CoronaVirus-themed posts!
Plus, we're introducing a new RetroBlog...Medical Comics...dedicated to tales of doctors, nurses, technicians, even orderlies, all of whom we literally couldn't live without!

The Thanksgiving Turkey Cometh...

...and it's going to be tasty, indeed!

Perhaps the only Red Sonja-related comic to never be reprinted after its' initial publication, the adaptation of the 1985 movie was presented in two formats...
a magazine-sized Marvel Super Special, and a two-issue comic book-format mini-series.
As usual, we'll be presenting elements from both versions in our usual serialized format starting on Thanksgiving Day and running daily through Sunday through two RetroBlogs: Secret Sanctum of Captain Video and Heroines!
Don't Miss Them!

We're GLOWing this Summer...

With the success of GLOW on Netflix...
...we thought we'd look back at the original version, via their short-lived, (and very HTF) magazine from 1986-87!
(Try finding it on eBay or Amazon!)
Lord, was it 30 years ago?
I feel so old...
 The mag featured both in-character pieces and behind-the-scenes features as well as lots of pix!


BTW, Jackie Stallone is Sylvester's mother!
She played the manager of the "good" wrestlers!
We'll be doing a mini-marathon of the best of the magazine's features and photo spreads on our "sister" RetroBlog Heroines! (when fighting women in tights are the very reason for the blog's existence) during our annual RetroBlog Blogathon in July and August!
It'll be Hot...Hot...HOT!

Note: this is a VHS, but unlike the DVD-R produced from it, the VHS is complete!

Wonder Woman vs Supergirl!

With Wonder Woman headlining a new movie opening tomorrow...
...we thought this would be a good time to re-present their first battle royale, which has never been reprinted in color since its' initial publication in 1968 (49 years ago)!
You can read the tale, starting HERE at our "sister" RetroBlog Heroines!
It was also the penultimate appearance of the super-powered Wonder Woman in the Silver Age since a major change occurred in the next issue...
But that's a story my good friend Rip Jagger can tell you HERE...at his Dojo!
