It's Memorial Day!

Space Force Saturdays ATOM-AGE COMBAT "Puzzle"
Since it's Memorial Day weekend...
...we thought we'd run a tale of interplanetary conflict between Earth and Mars!
Note: the last page was the inside back cover of the comic, so it's black-and-white, a standard cost-saving technique back then by printing the front and back inside covers one, or sometimes, two-color.
Illustrated by Dick Ayers, this tale from Fago's Atom-Age Combat #3 (1959) touches on an interesting idea.
Someone's keeping us from leaving Earth...but they're also keeping others from approaching Earth!
Were they protecting us from them...or them from us?
Since this was the final tale in the final issue of the series, we'll never know the answer...
BTW, this was the second series called "Atom-Age Combat"!
The first was published by St John Comics with five issues in 1952-53 and a one-shot in 1958.
Fago Publications bought the title when St John dropped it's comic line, continuing the numbering from the one-shot and producing two issues.
Fago itself only lasted from 1958-59.

Monday Memorial Day Madness SGT FURY AND HIS HOWLING COMMANDOS...in Korea...and VietNam???
Yep!
The guys who (almost) won World War II single-handedly (as a team)...
...fought in Korea (over half a decade later), and, fifteen years after that...
...in VietNam!
Here's how it begins in 1967, when World War II vet Nick Fury is a middle-aged (between 45 and 50 years old) but still fit, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D....

Monday Madness TIME WARP "Righteous Ones"
As, thanks to Vlad the Puta, rumbles of nuclear war grow ever louder...
...we thought we'd take a look at a possible result of such a frightening future!
Oops!
Cue Twilight Zone theme...
Written by DC writer/editor George Kashdan (who co-created Tommy Tomorrow) and illustrated by the multi-talented Dick Giordano, this never-reprinted tale from DC's Time Warp #1 (1979) reads like it was scripted a decade earlier in the late 1960s, especially in the teen-agers' dialogue ("Like it was chain-reacted into doomsville!")!

Monday Madness AMAZING ADULT FANTASY "Ultimate Weapon"
Who, in 1962, could believe that we'd still be on the brink of nuclear war with the Russkies...in 1970?
Stan Lee and Steve Ditko thought so...and offered a potential solution...
Clever.
Would the solution proposed in Atlas' Amazing Adult Fantasy #13 (1962) work in reality, 60 years later?Russia and China both have the capability to reach geostationary orbit (22,236 miles)., but would they try to use it?
Think about it...

DUCK & COVER Part 1
As Putin's Russia attacks Ukraine, bringing the world closer to a potential nuclear conflict...
...it behooves us to look back at how the government thought we'd have to deal with a potential nuclear attack!
As you might have guessed, this was a comic booklet that was handed out to students in the 1950s-1960s who were shown the famous Duck and Cover movie in their classroom!
Be here tomorrow for the conclusion...but, in the meantime, here's a kool download from the Library of Congress about Duck and Cover and similar Civil Defense films!

It's a New Year! Are You Ready for "A-DAY"?
Are you scared because you think the world is on the brink of war?
HA!
Back in the 1950s, we lived with the concept on a daily basis...and even told comic book tales about it!
This never-reprinted tale from Ziff-Davis' Amazing Adventures #1 (1950) offered some interesting, and (to some) subversive messages.
Illustrated by long-time pro Ogden Whitney, it shows how, unfortunately, human nature can destroy a potential Utopia...while ignoring how current technology wasn't (and still isn't) up to keeping "cheap" atomic power reasonably safe.
Something to ponder, even more than seven decades later...
