Reading Room WEIRD TALES OF THE FUTURE "Purple Mists!"

The perils of exploring the universe are many and varied...
...as seen in this never-reprinted story from Key Publications' Weird Tales of the Future #6 (1953)!
Though it's implied that one of the guys Rex and Tom shot was Rex's brother, that point is more-or-less ignored!
The writer is unknown, but artist Hy Fleishman signed his work in the first panel.
Fleishman worked for numerous publishers during the 1950s including Atlas (later Marvel), StoryKey, and Lev Gleason in various genres including horror, war, sci-fi, western, romance, and even humor.
He left the comics industry in the late 1950s, turning to becoming a restauranteur, opening several casual dining locations which survived even after his passing.

Friday Fun NUTS! "Popular Pictorial Science Handicrafts"

We brought you a similarly-themed tale about comic books from the same MAD-clone series HERE!

And now, our host/instructor (who originally-had a red mustache and hair) presents popular "slick" magazine genres...
This feature, illustrated by Hy Fleishman, from Premier Magazine's Nuts! #5 (1954) demonstrates the quality this undeservedly-obscure, short-lived (1953-1956) company gave to the titles in its' multi-genre (humor/Western/horror/romance/crime/funny animal) lineup!

Reading Room WEIRD TALES OF THE FUTURE "Speck of Stardust!"

A tale about the warmth of love in the coldness of space...
...with a twist ending worthy of The Twilight Zone!
Illustrated by Hy Fleishman, this never-reprinted tale from Key's Weird Tales of the Future #4 (1952) by an unknown author is rather melancholy, but haert-warming, showing the power of True Love under near-impossible conditions!

Friday Fun NUTS! "Comics is Wonderful!"

We keep telling you "comics can be educational"!
This feature, though it looks like it, is not an example of that!
How "meta" can you get?
A comic that spoofs other comics' genres!
This feature illustrated by Hy Fleishman from Premier Magazine's Nuts! #4 (1954) demonstrates the quality this undeservedly-obscure, short-lived (1953-1956) company gave to the titles in its' multi-genre lineup!
