There's MORE Tales to Tell in Our 2024 Summer "Time-Lost" RetroBlogs Blogathon!

We've decided we really don't need Vitamin D from sunshine when we can get it from pills, so...

If you liked our re-presentation on
Secret Sanctum of Captain Video
about "Pryde of the X-Men" (including the cartoon itself), we're re-presenting the limited-edition, never-reprinted comic that accompanied the video game Madness in MurderWorld!, which utilized the heroes and villains from that cartoon!

And, as a bonus, some of the kool stuff from the operations manual for the game, which tells you...
Wise advice, that!
In addition...


...we're also adding the never-reprinted Silver Age adventures of Charlton's Judomaster in
Plus...

...the saga of a woman alone upholding law and order in the West, written and illustrated by comics legend Bob Powell, unseen for over seventy-five years in a crossover between...
Heroines
and
Western Comics Adventures
That's in addition to...

To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of The Shadow (the Movie)a re-presentation of the 2-issue adaptation of the film by the man who visually-defined He Who Knows What Evil Lurks for several generations of readers, Mike Kaluta (along with writer Joel Goss)...plus we're providing comparisons between the comic and the movie (with film clips) in...
We're doing an intra-blog crossover right here at Atomic Kommie Comics between Wednesday Worlds of Wonder and Space Heroine Saturdays with a graphic novel featuring the interstellar adventures of StarFawn by writer Byron Preiss and illustrator Stephen Fabian...unseen since 1976!
(That's almost half a century!)
Plus:
Travel back almost a full century (1936) to the origin of the first (radio/movie serial/Golden Age) Green Hornet and Kato in a time-lost tale from 1991!
Confused?
You won't be after you read it in

Crime and Punishment!

And, Of Course...
...There'll be a Book-Length Gothic "Beach Read" Novel from half a century ago in
It's Gonna be a Sizzling Summer!
(Not that we'll know, since we'll be sitting indoors with air conditioning!)

Steve Ditko on RetroBlogs!

It's no secret we at RetroBlogs are major Steve Ditko fans as you can see from our posts at...
...Secret Sanctum of Captain Video, where we covered some of his work on Get Smart, Gorgo, and Mysterious Traveler!
...Seduction of the Innocent, which showed a Ditko tale that was later re-drawn!
(Who would have the chutzpah to think they could do a better job than Sturdy Steve???)
...Hero Histories, which features one of his greatest co-creations, Captain Atom, one of his greatest creations, Mr A, as well as his only story co-starring The Batman!
...a never-reprinted Civil War tale in War: Past Present and Future...
...even a Western Comics Adventures entry...
...and a Crime and Punishment post!
Was there anything Ditko couldn't do?
