Reading Room KING OF FUTURIA "The Wall Comes Tumbling Down!"

...the tale itself provides the synopsis for this Buck Rogers-esque saga of a 20th Century American in a post-apocalyptic future!
Damn, we 20th Century Americans were good at this save-the-world stuff!
The parallels with Buck Rogers become more apparent in this tale from Nedor's Mystery Comics #2 (1944), including a traitorous Earthman (Karlak) working with aliens, outnumbered and ill-equipped free humans, and a bad guy (Karlak again) who keeps surviving his apparent demises...as we shall see next time!
BTW, sadly, nobody can identify the writer and/or artist of the strip.

Reading Room KING OF FUTURIA "To the Futur(ia)"

Can a 20th Century man prove superior to his 30th Century descendants?
Read on..and discover the startling answer!
Much like Buck Rogers, Dick Devens used his military skills (long forgotten in the future) to assist the humans of the time period he was now trapped in.
After this debut tale in Nedor's Mystery Comics #1 (1944), Dick Devens would appear in the remaining three issues of the title, then transfer with a number of other features to Wonder Comics when it dropped super-heroes in favor of sci-fi/fantasy.
We'll be presenting the entire run of the series, so keep an eye on us.
