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
Plus...

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!

November: the Month Betty Boop Returns...
Legendary cartoon character Betty Boop returns to pop culture prominence in a big way...
(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!
