Added to the 2025 RetroBlog Summer Blogathon...BATMAN VS THE THREE VILLAINS OF DOOM...ENHANCED!

 A Couple of Years Ago...

...we re-presented this never-reprinted, original 1966 novel by "Winston Lyon" (actually noted Golden Age/Silver Age comics writer William Woolfolk) which combined elements of both the comic book and TV series versions of the Caped Crusader starting HERE!
What we didn't realize at the time, was how much of the comic book version was actually taken directly from the comics!
Just as numerous plots of the TV show's first season were based on comic books, three chapters of the novel took their main plots...crimes by specific sinister super-criminals...from three different comics guest-starring those baleful baddies!
You'll see the specific chapters...along with the comic stories, on Sundays in August, right here!

The RetroBlogs 2025 Summer Blogathons are Coming...

Starting July 1st, we're running several blogathons...
With Fantastic Four: First Flight finally incorporating the characters into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we're presenting this long-OOP (almost a half-century) premiere prose novel (as compared to graphic novel) about them right here at
Atomic Kommie Comics
The legendary Man of Bronze takes on the Nazis at the 1936 Olympics as they put up an athlete who was trained from birth using the same techniques that Dr Clark Savage Sr used for Doc in this never-reprinted, almost 40 year-old extra-long comic!
Guest appearances by historical figures including Jesse Owens and Adolf (You Know Who)!
See the Nazi-Punching action at
Hero Histories and Medical Comics and Stories
Almost 40 years ago, there was a "high-concept" series about a tired, disillusioned comic book creator whose characters (a wholesome, upright superhero and hardboiled private detective) entered the real world!
With only seven episodes produced (four unaired), it's been largely-forgotten.
But there was a never-reprinted 2-issue adaptation of the pilot episode!
You'll see that at
Secret Sanctum of Captain Video
Here's a never-reprinted 1994 graphic novel based on Peter O'Donnell's first Modesty Blaise book, which provided about as much a basis for the 1966 movie as Ian Fleming's Casino Royale did for the 1967 flick based on that novel!
See what O'Donnell really intended at
Heroines!
And, of course, another entry in our "Beach Read" book-length gothic romance comic story series at
True Love Comics Tales
Stay cool...and kool...with

this Summer!

We Have Already Seen...

...to prevent a planetary disaster, Shalla (aka StarFawn) utilized her newly-acquired transforming powers to become pure energy and enter an alien power conduit to move trapped fellow crewman Daystar out of the power flow which his body was contaminating!
As she made contact with the helpless, immobile crewman, everything went black, and...












Sadly, there was no sequel tale.
