Reading Room OUT OF THIS WORLD "Supermen"

Yes, you read the title correctly..."Supermen"!

But this tale from Charlton's Out of This World #3 (1957) isn't about your usual muscle-bound heroes...

After all, who said only human minds and bodies were being affected?

Written by Jack Oleck and illustrated by Steve Ditko, this oft-reprinted tale is one of only four stories the prolific Oleck scripted for Charlton...and all four were illustrated by Ditko!

Reading Room ALARMING TALES "Secret Weapon"

We've worried about homeland security for decades...

...but, quite frankly, we're damned good at it!

OK, maybe we haven't produced an invisibility device/formula...yet, but we Americans can handle anything terrorists can thtrow at us, as this never-reprinted Silver Age story from Harvey's Alarming Tales #4 (1958) shows!

BTW, it's written by Jack Oleck (a talented novelist and comic book writer who was the brother-in-law of Alarming Tales editor Joe Simon) and illustrated by Johnny Quest's co-creator Doug Wildey!

Monday Mars Madness ALARMING TALES "Hero"

Here's a short (in more ways than one) space-opera tale...

...though you won't get my pun until the end...

This story of size and space travel from Harvey's Alarming Tales #2 (1957) was produced by writer Jack Oleck, and illustrator Marvin Stein (with what appears to be uncredited layout help by Jack Kirby).
