Wednesday Worlds of Wonder WOLFF "City in the Clouds" and "Return of Sadya"

We Have Already Seen...

...Wolff rescues Katerina, who brings him to her sorcerer father's kingdom...in the sky!

Will Wolff and Katerina survive Sadya's attack?
Let's See...

Where's the conveniently-placed synopsis to explain everything going on in this post-apocalyptic world where magic rules and technology is all but forgotten?

Oh, it's at the top of Page 2!

Carry on...

Now the story makes sense!

Interestingly, this concludes the major plotline in the Wolff strip, with Wolff's final adventure beginning...

WOLFF = FFLOW ???

We've been running the post-apocalyptic adventures of Esteban Maroto's Wolff on Wednesdays...

...and in preparing this week's entry, we discovered the last two chapters we ran were published by New England Library in the wrong order!

Comparing the NEL publication order...

Dracula #8

Dracula #9

Dracula #10
...to the original running order by Spanish publisher Buru Lan...

Dracula #8

Dracula #9

Dracula #10

...the storyline makes a lot more sense!

Another tip-off was that the cover of Dracula #9 illustrates the story "City in the Clouds"...which NEL ran in #10!

(I commented about that last week!)

Ironically, the same thing happened to the Agar-Agar stories from those same two issues Dracula which we ran last year in Wednesday Worlds of Wonder...as I pointed out HERE!

So, tomorrow, we'll run those two stories together in the correct order, and continue with the narrative next Wednesday!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder WOLFF "City in the Clouds"

We Have Already Seen...

Note that, though we are presenting the Wolff tale from New England Library's Dracula #10 (1972), this cover is from #9, so we present it now, since it shows a character that appears in this story, but not the previous tale!

...Wolff and Katerina have escaped from the clutches of the sorceress Sadya to Katerina's sorcerer father's kingdom.

Will Wolff survive Sadya's vengeance?

Find Out...

Space Hero Saturdays CAPTAIN KEN BRADY: ROCKET PILOT "Boy Who Wasn't There!"

We met Captain Ken Brady and his co-pilot-sidekick Buzzy HERE...

...in his premiere appearance, conceived and produced by the co-creator of Superman and the definitive Bronze Age artist of Dracula!

This tale from Ziff-Davis' Lars of Mars #11 (1951) was written by Jerry Siegel and illustrated by Gene Colan.
It's both the character's second (and last) appearance and the second (and last issue) of the comic!
While the series isn't anything particularly innovative, it's a classic example of 1950s-style sci-fi.
And Gene, who was doing a little of everything from horror to romance to Westerns, showed his versatility with this too-brief strip's run.

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder WOLFF "Return of Sadya"

Last Time...

Where's the conveniently-placed synopsis to explain everything going on in this post-apocalyptic world where magic rules and technology is all but forgotten?

Oh, it's at the top of Page 2!

Carry on...

Bet you believe we've seen the last of Sadya, in this never-published in America tale from NEL's Dracula #9 (1973), eh?

Monday Madness LUNATICKLE "Horrible Comic Story Behind the Horror Story Comic Books!"

I'll let the original editors introduce you to today's Monday Madness...

"This, then, is the true tale of the Comic Book Industry’s brief but shocking plunge into the Witches Brew of gore and bloodshed.

Presented herewith is an authentic documentary of how it came about and how it ended—And how it ended!
The names, dates, and places given are all factual and for real! Any reference to certain persons is strictly intentional,

Only the prices have been changed because it’s after five o’clock!
-the editors"

Created by two horror comics veterans; writer Jack Mendelsohn and illustrator Lee Elias (in a very Jack Davis-esque style), this never-reprinted story from the second (and final) issue of Whitestone Publishing's short-lived MAD magazine clone Lunatickle is a bittersweet, but amazingly-accurate look at how the comics industry almost disappeared in the mid-1950s!
