Reading Room LIFE STORIES OF AMERICAN PRESIDENTS "George Washington"

Yesterday's and today's posts got transposed...
...but this never-reprinted tale of our first President is well-worth waiting for!
Dell's never-reprinted Life Stories of American Presidents (1957) was both sold on newsstands and distributed to bookstores (where I found my copy in 1963), a rarity in those days.
Though the author is unknown, the artist who penciled and inked the entire 100-page cavalcade of Presidents from Washington to Eisenhower was John Buscema!

Reading Room: LIFE STORIES OF AMERICAN PRESIDENTS "Abraham Lincoln"

There's no better way to celebrate Lincoln's Birthday...
..than to read his life story.
Note: there are a few politically-incorrect panels referring to African-Americans as "Negro", which was the accepted term in the 1950s.
BTW, did you note that, at the top of the last page of the story, Grant and Lee have the wrong uniform colors?

Reading Room WEIRDWORLD "Warriors of the Shadow Realm" Part the First: City of Seven Dark Delights III

We Have Already Seen..
...two elves, Tyndall and Velanna, and a somewhat-irritating dwarf named Mud-Butt, head for the City of Seven Dark Delights.
But, it's a journey fraught with danger!
 ...and with that, we enter into what was rightfully-called a "mind-boggling 3-page color foldout"!
Be Here Tomorrow to Find Out!
Here's a hint...

Reading Room WEIRDWORLD "Warriors of the Shadow Realm" Part the First: City of Seven Dark Delights I

And so this chapter of the saga begins, innocently enough...
...with three beings we would consider "fantastic" telling stories about creatures they consider "fantastic"!
You'll find out whose trail tomorrow, elf, and you'll wish you hadn't...
BTW, here's the credits from the never-reprinted Marvel Super Special #11 (1979)...
Kool, eh?
