Monday Madness CAPTAIN ELECTRON "Mr Computer"

Now this guy is exactly who we need in the era of deep fakes and potentially-insane AI!

Unfortunately, the "Today" the title refers to is 1986, though the art style looks like something from the Golden Age!

Despite looking like it was drawn in the 1940s, this tale was produced in 1986 to recruit students for a computer technology school!
The one-shot promo comic was written and illustrated by Golden Age artist Jay Disbrow, who served as Public Relations Director for Brick Computer Science Institute from the mid-1980s until it closed its' doors in 1994.
Jay continued to appear at comics conventions and, in 2000, started a webcomic, Aroc of Zenith, producing new material until 2005.
He passed from this mortal coil in 2017.

Reading Room CRIME DETECTOR "Ultimate Destiny"

Some comics tales of the 1950s have a real "nightmare" feel...
...such as this rarely-seen story by an underrated master of the genre!
Note: the final page was printed sideways as a single page, but we think it works better as a two-page spread, so...
The writer for this cool comic classic from Timor's Crime Detector #5 (1954) is unknown, but the distinctive art is by Jay Disbrow, who had a long career in comics from 1948 to 2005!
His last new work was the on-line comic Aroc of Zenith, which ran for 312 pages from 2000 to 2005, and you can find HERE.
