Space Hero Saturdays STAR HUNTERS "Part 2: Beyond the Solar Rim" Part 1

Assembled (some might say blackmailed) by The Corporation...

...a black ops team consisting of talented, but somewhat eccentric, specialists heads into space.

Well, that can't be good...

Be here next Saturday for the thrilling finale, and see if Yano will survive her first space walk...

It appears this was originally intended as the second issue of Star Hunters, before being combined with the first issue in the double-sized comic DC Super-Stars V2 #18 (1977), to cover more ground at one time during the audience's intro to the characters.

Best of DC Science Fiction

Reading Room MYSTERY IN SPACE "Singling"

A well-done graphic story can be understood without captions or word balloons...

...as this never-reprinted tale from DC's Mystery in Space #111 (1980), illustrated by Jim Aparo, demonstrates!

Scripter Gerald J Brown penned only a few stories before disappearing from comics.
He was also a writer/editor of the prozine Night Voyages. which ran for 10 issues between 1977 and 1984.
This particular issue of Mystery in Space was the first issue of a revival of the legendary anthology which was cancelled 14 years earlier, in 1966.
Sadly, the book only lasted for 7 issues before being cancelled again...

Friday Fun / Robot Reading Room ROMEO THE ROBOT "Origin"

A Sentient Robot with an ongoing series...from DC !

But, I'd bet you never heard of him!

You certainly didn't see him since none of his stories have ever been reprinted!

The above debut tale from DC's Action Comics #68 (1944), scripted and illustrated by Jack Farr, is the first of four appearances by the mirthful mechanical man!
He bounced from book to book, used whenever editors had a four-page slot to fill, with his last appearance almost a decade later, in 1952!
Farr, a cartoonist who began his career back in the 1920s doing newspaper and slick magazine cartoons, made a transition to comic books quite easily, working for almost everyone (even EC Comics) at one point or another, with the bulk of his work done for DC Comics from 1943 to 1953.
He went back to newspaper/magazine cartooning during the near-death of the comic book business during the "Seduction of the Innocent" scandals of the mid-1950s, 

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder JUDGE DREDD "He IS the Law" Conclusion

We Have Already Witnessed...

...assigned three cadets as hands-on trainees, Judge Dredd is about to show them "how it's done"!

Drokk!
To Be Continued in the Near Future!

Written by Andy Helfer and illustrated by Mike Avon Oeming, this never-reprinted premiere issue of DC's Judge Dredd (1994) is not linked to any other print, movie, or game incarnation...except in basic concept!
Nor, despite several standalone Batman/Judge Dredd stories and a Lobo/Judge Dredd tale, is it linked to DCU continuity...even such as it was at that point post-Crisis on Infinite Earths!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder JUDGE DREDD "He IS the Law" Part 1

What Happens When Americans Take a British Comic Series about Americans...and Reboot It?

You're about to find out!

We Pause the Narrative Until Next Wednesday

Written by Andrew Helfer and illustrated by Michael Avon Oeming, this never-reprinted premiere issue of Judge Dredd (1994) was a continuation of a partnership between DC and England's Fleetway Press which began with a highly-successful one-shot combining Judge Dredd with The Batman against Judge Death and The Scarecrow!

Three more standalone stories with the combative duo followed, along with a Judge Dredd/Lobo one-shot and the comic adaptation of the Judge Dredd movie starring Sylvester Stallone, and two new series about Dredd and Mega-City One; this title, which ran 18 issues, and Judge Dredd: Legends of the Law which ran for 13 issues.
Note: Besides the standalone graphic novels, there was no interaction between the DC Universe and Dredd's reality!
Here's the book's editor, Paul Kupperberg, explaining some of the basics about this reboot and how it differs from the original British series..
