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!
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!

Monday Madness HICKORY "Dewey Drip and the Bar"

Here's a strip that'll appeal to the intellect (such as it is) of Don the Con's rural con "audience"!

This one-page filler, created, written and illustrated by John Devlin, appeared in most issues of Quality's Police Comics, beginning with #1 in 1940.
It also popped up in Crack Comics and Plastic Man whenever a one-pager was needed.
This short in Quality's Hickory Comics #1 (1949) was the strip's final appearance.

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...
Next Wednesday!

Easter Reading Room EASTER WITH MOTHER GOOSE "Little Bunny"

Walt (Pogo) Kelly went into full-on "cute" mode with his holiday stories...
...including this never-reprinted one from Dell's Four Color ComicsEaster with Mother Goose #185 (1948)!

Besides doing an annual comic of Easter stories featuring fairy tale and nursery rhyme characters celebrating the holiday, Walt also did an even-more popular series of annual Christmas comics utilizing the same concept!

Reading Room THIS MAGAZINE IS HAUNTED "Secret of the Walking Dead"

With the return of AMC's The Walking Dead...
...we thought we'd present a shocker involving someone deliberately creating a scientific zombie!
Could this be similar to how the walkers on AMC's Walking Dead came to be?
This tale from Fawcett's This Magazine is Haunted #6 (1952) was illustrated by Ed Waldman who worked on-and-off in comics from 1941 to 1954.
The tale's writer is sadly, unknown!
However, the cover artist is Sheldon Moldoff!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder WOLFF "Return of Sadya"

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!

Bet you believe we've seen the last of Sadya, in this never-published in America tale from NEL's Dracula #9 (1973), eh?
Then maybe you shouldn't check us out
