Ray Harryhausen Comic Books!

Many of Ray Harryhausen's films have been adapted into comic books.
Among them...

Valley of Gwangi
(1969)

and
Jason and the Argonauts
(1963)
Surprisingly, there was never an adaptation of the most comic book-like of all his films, Earth vs the Flying Saucers. during the film's initial release.

Ray Harryhausen (1920-2013)

Though he didn't appear in front of the camera, Ray Harryhausen was far more influental on the moviegoing public than most actors.
The way some people would automatically run to see a John Wayne flick or a Bette Davis film, I would be front and center on opening day for any Ray Harryhausen movie, ready for a couple of hours of sheer fun!
Ray's creations appeared in almost every genre, sci-fi, horror, fantasy, historical...even a Western (Valley of Gwangi).
To mark his passing, out "brother" blog, Secret Sanctum of Captain Video™, is presenting the never-reprinted comic adaptation of my favorite of all Ray's films, Jason and the Argonauts.
You can see other Harryhausen movies in comics form...
