CoronaVirus Comics HOUSE OF MYSTERY "Trick or Treat"

A mad scientist plans to use a virus on mankind!

It's a foolproof scheme!

What could go wrong?

Oops!

Cue the Twilight Zone theme...

This guy's going to be as successful as his look-alike, the Golden-Age Dr Doom!

Though the scripter of this short from DC's House of Mystery #195 (1971) is unknown, the atmospheric art is by Mike (The Shadow) Kaluta!

YouTube Wednesday on Saturday: TItanic on the TIME TUNNEL!

The pilot episode of the short-lived Time Tunnel (1966) featured...The Titanic!

 ...with guest star Michael Rennie (Klatuu in the original Day the Earth Stood Still) as Captain Edward Smith!
 There's lots of Titanic miniature footage but there's debate as to whether it's from 20th Century Fox's Titanic (1953) or Rank's A Night to Remember (1958)

Rennie had performed the previous year on another Irwin Allen series, Lost in Space, in the series' only two-parter "The Keeper", as the title character!
It's two of the best episodes during the show's first season, before it went to color and became the "Will & Dr Smith & Robot" show!

The Titanic!

Exactly one hundred years ago...DISASTER!

From Funny Pages #V2N3 (1937), this is the first of a number of comic book features and stories about the legendary tragedy, probably written and drawn by unknown creators who were probably children or teens when it occurred 25 years earlier!

The quality's not great because this is a scan from microfiche rather than a printed page, but it's a historically-important piece of pop culture, so...

BTW, I've never seen a copy of this comic book that wasn't "slabbed" (encased in lucite!).

Reading Room "Heritage of the Titanic"

Who says comics aren't educational?

Bet you didn't know that!

Interestingly, there is speculation that this "fact" was just a piece of made-up publicity by Sarnoff himself.

(He was working at the telegraph station during that period, but may have been the supervisor for the actual telegraph operator.

Records on who-did-what are non-existent, so it's just anecdotal info.)

Regrettably, the writer and artist of this informative piece are unknown.

This one-page feature originally-published in the Ziff-Davis one-shot Captain Fleet (1952) was reprinted twice, in High Adventure #1 (1957) and Top Adventure Comics #1 (1958)

Reading Room: SAGAS OF THE SEA "Titanic"

With the 100th Anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic coming up...

...we thought it appropriate to present one of the surprisingly-few comic book versions of the sad tale of the "unsinkable" super-ship!

This tale from Seven Seas Comics #2 (1946), illustrated by Robert Webb, is derived from newspaper accounts of the disaster.

Seven Seas Comics was the longest-lasting of Leader Publications/Universal Phoenix Features' titles, publishing six issues of high-quality work by such notables as Matt Baker, Alex Blum, and a pre-EC Comics Al Feldstein!

The main feature was South Seas Girl, a jungle-girl strip featuring superb Good Girl art by Baker!

Robert Webb is best-known as one of the primary artists on the long-running Sheena: Queen of the Jungle for Fiction House.
