Monday Madness ALICE "Flying Saucers"

I always wondered what happens when someone takes the concept of "flying saucers" literally...
...as the amazing Dave Berg did in this cover-featured tale from Ziff-Davis' Alice #11 (1953)!
Not quite the sort of "flying saucers" we usually present, eh?

FLYING SAUCERS Cover Gallery

Here's the cover art by Gene Fawcette...
...to the story we've been running the past few days.
Oddly, when the issue was reprinted a couple of years later, the art was altered...
...and I've never heard an explanation as to why!
For the record, I like the original cover better!

Reading Room BUZZY BEAN AND HIS FLYING SAUCER "Secret of Planet 5"

...are they saved, or out of the frying pan and into the fire?
Buzzy and Betty's adventures ended with this never-reprinted story from Good Comics' Johnny Law: Sky Ranger #4 (1955) since the company went out of business after the book was printed and distributed.
Trivia: After Good Comics folded, Publisher/Editor/Art Director Edmond Good became Art Director of Tupperware and remained in the post until he retired in the 1970s!

Reading Room BUZZY BEAN AND HIS FLYING SAUCER "Space Pirates of Callisto"

...but the aliens are about to discover humans are not easy prey!
This never-reprinted third tale in the all-too-brief series appeared in Good Comics' Johnny Law, Sky Marshal #3 (1955).
Written by publisher Edmond Good and illustrated by Robert Martinott, it ends on a cliff-hanger that may (or may not) be resolved when we present the next chapter...

Reading Room: BUZZY BEAN AND HIS FLYING SAUCER

But sci-fi fans have known the truth about flying saucers for years...nay, decades!
Here's a never-reprinted strip about a boy and his personal flying saucer from the 1950s...
...from a short-lived company that only put out two titles with a combined total of nine issues!
Artist Carl Hubbell (no relation to the Hall of Fame baseball player) illustrated over 300 tales from the late Golden Age through the Silver Age at almost every company in the business.
Sadly, the writer of this premiere installment of the series in Good Comics' Johnny Law: Sky Ranger #1 (1955) is unknown.
BTW, the company name was not a boast, the publisher was Edmond Good, an artist with both newspaper and comic book credits from the beginning of the Golden Age to the end of the Bronze Age.

Reading Room: RACE FOR THE MOON "Disc Jockey"

The 1950s.
When "disc" could mean either "flying saucer" or "lp record".
Or both...
A tale of discs and disks from Race to the Moon #1, 1958.
