Stay Safe by Sheltering in Place with RetroBlogs' Summer Blogathons...

...we'll keep you entertained with time-lost rare and never-reprinted tales you'll find only at...
...our newest RetroBlog
Plus...
...controversial Western tales featuring TV's Confederate protagonists the Gray Ghost and the Rebel at
and
Barbaric action in the Conan/Kull tradition at
...along with the already-announced
Perry Mason...whose never-reprinted comic books will show you why the new HBO series is closer than you think to the early novels!
Check out
Crime & Punishment
for his hard-boiled adventures!
And, to make it a Super-Summer Blogathon...
The book-length saga of Superman dying from "Virus X" was one of the classic (and often reprinted) Silver Age tales of the Man of Steel!
But. that's not what we're showing...since it's been reprinted numerous times over the years (and deservedly so)!
Did you know it was re-conceived as an expanded, multi-part, never-reprinted, story in Action Comics several years later?
That's what you'll see at
Hero Histories
in July!
Plus, we're presenting not one, but two Blogathons featuring the Man of Steel's cousin in stories unseen for 50 years!

Several of Supergirl's (somewhat kinky) romances in
True Love Comics Tales!
And...

The Maiden of Might's weirdest, wildest adventures in
Heroines!
There's still more (we have to keep you entertained and safe), but you'll have to be back next Sunday to find out about them...

The Summer Blogathons Return...

Yep, it's that time of year, when Atomic Kommie Comics present...
The RetroBlog Summer Blogathon!
...featuring batches of fascinating stuff from our vaults (almost all never-reprinted), in one or two-week blocks of daily entries, giving you a chance to sit back and enjoy complete stories that you haven't seen in years...or have only heard about, but never read, like...
Perry Mason...whose never-reprinted comic books will show you why the new HBO series is closer than you think to the early novels!
Check out Crime & Punishment for his hard-boiled adventures!

He's NOT Your Father's Perry Mason...

...but he is your grandfather's!
...as these 1940s graphic adaptations of two of Erle Stanley Gardner's novels show!
Note: these are reformattings of the Perry Mason newspaper comic strip!
The new HBO series draws on several sources including the early novels, the newspaper comic strip, a six-film 1930s b-movie series adapting the books, and a long-running 1940s-50s radio show!
Trivia: the serialized radio show spawned a live daytime TV-show spinoff which Gardner disapproved of, so the character of Mason was replaced by Mike Karr and the show premiered as the soap-opera The Edge of Night (1956-1980)!
You can read both of the never-reprinted 1940s comics after the July 4th Weekend as part of our usual Summer Blogathon, spread out between this blog and "brother" RetroBlog Crime & Punishment!
