Holiday Reading Room ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND "Man Who Didn't Believe in Christmas"

I'm not sure what to make of this story.

It's "A Christmas Carol", yet it's not!

Weird, eh?

This story appeared in Adventures in Wonderland #5 (1956), the Christmas issue, and both writer and artist are unknown.

The editor/publisher was Lev Gleason, who had also published a number of classic comic series including Crime Does Not Pay, DareDevil Comics, and Silver Streak Comics.

However, this was at the tail end of his career, and being constrained by the newly-implemented Comics Code Authority apparently didn't sit well with him.

Perhaps this tale was his commentary on the sort of bland material he felt the Code was limiting him to?

Reading Room AMAZING ADVENTURES OF BUSTER CRABBE "Science Lore"

Who says comics ain't educational?

 

One and two-page featurettes, based on the science known at the time, offer fascinating insight into the mindset of the sci-fi/comics writers and what info they had to work with!

This never-reprinted, Pete Morisi-illustrated piece from Lev Gleason's Amazing Adventures of Buster Crabbe #3 (1954) is typical of the era, except for the fact all the spaceship designs, combining real and fictional vessels are from different eras!
Among them are a Mongo warship from the Flash Gordon comic strip, a ship from the movies Destination Moon and/or Conquest of Space, and what's described as a "WAC Corporal", but is rendered as a German V-2!
