Wednesday Worlds of Wonder LOST WORLD "Save the Declaration of Independence"

Though Fiction House's ongoing comic titles didn't acknowledge Christmas...

...this tale is sort of a Christmas present, since it's the transition from an interesting strip into one of the greatest sci-fi series of the Golden Age!

The VoltaMen had already adapted Nazi uniforms and tactics, but this was the story that introduced their "Yoda-style" speech patterns...which are actually English, but with ancient Latin sentence structure!

That, and the next story, which introduces a "Scooby Gang" from the past as ongoing characters, are indications that the writer behind the "Thorncliffe Herrick" pen-name has changed!

This never-reprinted story from Fiction House's Planet Comics #37 (1945) is actually out of order, since it takes place during Hunt and Lyssa's trip to Washington DC, and they've been back in New York City for several issues.

I suspect it was a sequel to the heavily-edited story from Planet Comics #25 and a "try-out" for both artist Lily Renee and whoever the writer is.

The Iger/Eisner Studio, which supplied almost all the comics stories for Fiction House's books was notorious for never leaving something they paid for unpublished!

BTW, the alien Hydrads never returned to the series.

Tax Cuts for Corporations & the Rich...

I don't usually get involved in politics on this blog...

but this whole budget mishigas in Washington has me confused.

Why can't we tax the rich?

Why can't we tax corporations?

Design of the Week--The War that Will NEVER Happen...

Each week, we post a limited-edition design, to be sold for exactly 7 days, then replaced with another!
This week...
You can look good while you duck-and-cover with our kool, retro (but not radiation-proof) World War III kollectibles showing a possible future nuking of the Capital building in Washington DC by an unnamed foreign power!
This 1950s one-shot comic detailed the possible events leading up to the Final War and how, thru constant vigilance against the Commie Threat, we average American citizens can thwart it!

Then, it was the U.S.S.R., since North Korea had no nuclear weapons.
Today, the U.S.S.R. is gone, replaced by the less-dangerous Russia.
However, a Communist nuclear threat remains...but now it's North Korea!
The more things change, the more they stay the same (sort of).
