Wednesday Worlds of Wonder WALKING DEAD ZOMBIE SPECIAL "Dead or Dead" Part 1

Besides the characters in the plotline of the four issue mini-series... 

...a one-shot Walking Dead Zombie Special in 1990 featured this tale of other humans battling zombies...and each other!

"Sheriff" Scav's mental "coping mechanism" of perceiving threatening enemies as classic Western villains might just get him killed!

Find out if he survives...

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder WALKING DEAD "Beginning of the End" Conclusion

When Last We Left the Former Law-Enforcement Officer Battling Zombies in a Post-Apocalyptic World...

...no!
Not that LEO..

...this LEO!
Mortally-wounded Sgt Joe Barker faces off with zombie leader (Yes, the zombies in this universe have a leader!) Jak...

The final scene of the final issue of Aircel's Walking Dead (#4 in 1990) truly defines "apocalyptic" as everyone (live and undead) is now kaput!
There are two more short tales involving different groups of characters than the main series.
You'll see them over the next few weeks.
Created by writer/artist Jim Somerville and published by Malibu/Aircel in 1989, it was vastly-different from the 2003-present graphic novel series created by writer Robert Kirkman, and artists Tony Moore & Charles Adlard..
For collectors, there's good news and bad news...

Good news: There's only a four-issue mini series and a one-shot Special to collect!

Bad news: Because it didn't sell well (and has never been reprinted), it's HTF (hard to find) and expensive!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder WALKING DEAD "Beginning of the End" Part 1

It's a world where a former law enforcement officer leads a ragtag group of survivors against an unending zombie horde...

...no, no, not that Walking Dead!

This Walking Dead...

...featuring dead who not only walk, they talk (incessantly), think, and use automatic weapons!

And in this universe, that might just be enough to destroy the living...

You Can Witness the Fearsome Finale...

Space Hero Saturdays BUSTER CRABBE "and the Maid of Mars"

Though Buster Crabbe starred in more Westerns than any other genre...

 ...he's best-known to the public at large as the movie serial heroes Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers!
Here's a tale from his own comic that combines both Western and space hero concepts!
Note that Buster is actor Buster Crabbe, not "Buster Crabbe as a character like Billy West" or somesuch in the tale, and it's assumed that he's actually able to do anything he's shown doing in his films.

The amazing art for this tale from Eastern Color's Buster Crabbe Comics #5 (1952) was by Al Williamson, Roy Krenkel, and Frank Frazetta, who were astounding comics fans with similar quality work at EC Comics on Weird Science and Weird Fantasy!

The cover was by Frazetta, who was also doing covers featuring Buck Rogers (whom Buster had played in the movies) for Famous Funnies, as well as illustrating the White Indian strip and covers for Ghost Rider! so he had handled both sci-fi and Western genres before doing this mixed-genre piece!

Friday Fun BATMAN "Bat-Climb featuring Santa Claus"

Let's kick off Friday Fun's Yuletide season with the ultimate team-up: Kris Kringle...

...and the legendary Dynamic Duo, Batman and Robin!

One of the hallmarks of 1960s Batman series was the "Bat-Climb", where the Caped Crusader and Boy Wonder would encounter celebrities or characters from other shows as they scaled the wall of a building with their Bat-Rope (using a set turned sideways so the actors were merely pretending to be climbing.)

In this second-season episode ("The Duo is Slumming", featuring the one-shot villain Puzzler), airing right before Christmas in 1966, the Dynamic Duo meet Kris Kringle, played by an uncredited Andy Devine.

(After all, the producers didn't want kids to think Santa wasn't real...)
