Reading Room BLAZE BARTON "and the Bat Men of Venus"

The World of the Future ain't exactly a fun place...

...but will the Venusians be friends...or foes?

Oddly, Earth seems to have moved backwards in time since the previous story was set in 50,017, not 3000!

The writer of this tale from Quality's Hit Comics #2 (1940) is unknown (and may not even be the first story's scripter), but the artist was Henry Kiefer, a craftsman with over 400 comics stories and covers from 1935 to 1954 including numerous Classics Illustrated adaptations.

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder LOST WORLD "VoltaMen Defeated?"

Is the conflict between Terrans and their VoltaMen conquerers reaching a conclusion?

Or is this a sinister plot to catch the amazingly-effective Resistance off-guard?

New, but not-entirely trustworthy, allies are better than no allies...I hope!

Unfortunately, this series has a tendency to introduce potential situations and ongoing characters, then drop them!
Since the credited writer, Thorncliffe Herrick, is actually a house pen-name, there's no way of knowing how often scripters have been changed!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder LOST WORLD "Project: Monster"

As Hunt Bowman and Lyssa continue their resistance to the VoltaMan invaders...

...the aliens try ever more innovative attempts to eliminate the freedom fighters!

The Venusian we see in this tale is apparently a member of a third race from that planet shown in this series, unlike the ones we saw HERE and HERE!

Whether this is sloppy editing, or part of an onoging plot point has yet to be revealed!

(BTW, almost every other series in Planet Comics had their own Venusians, Martians, etc..

But they tended to be consistent within their own strips!
