Reading Room HOUSE OF MYSTERY "Human TIme Capsule"

Under this kool Ruben Moreira cover...
...lurks an even kooler, never-reprinted tale of illegal aliens and crime from DC's House of Mystery #64 (1957)!
So the American citizen is the criminal, not the "illegal alien"!
The Mort Meskin-illustrated tale left a possibility for a sequel, which was never realized!
Since even DC doesn't know who wrote it (and the odds are the author is deceased by now), we'll never know...

Monday Madness FANTASTIC COMICS "Space Smith Visits the Hollow World of Bloodu"

Here's the final, Fletcher Hanks Space Smith tale...
...unfortunately, scanned from a color microfiche copy so it's very blotchy!
Apparently, Fox's Fantastic Comics #8 (1940) is so rare, that only slabbed copies are known to exist!
And they can't be opened to scan the stories without losing value...
With Hanks' departure, several writers and artists would try their hands at the series!
Wait'll you see who's coming!

Reading Room SPACE ACTION "Invaders From a Lost Galaxy"

A "Lost Galaxy"?
Not The "Lost Galaxy"?
How many "Lost Galaxies" are out there?
And, is it really lost, or just misplaced? ;-)
While the writer is unknown, the art for this Flash Gordon-inspired tale from Ace's Space Action #1 (1952) breaks down as pencils by Lou Cameron, inks by Rocco Mastroserio!

It Was 50 Years Ago Today...

...that The Beatles released their "magnum opus", Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band!
Considered by many (myself included) to be their finest work, it left an impact on an entire generation that reverberates to this day!
Less than a year later, writer Gary Friedrich and illustrator John Verpoorten (with an assist on caricatures by Marie Severin) produced this amazingly-detailed send-up in Marvel's Not Brand Echh #12 (1969)...

Enjoy, True Believer!
BTW, here's a list of all those who appeared on the cover...

Friday Fun REX DEXTER "Saves the World...Again!"

...Rex has not only rebuilt a major part of Asia, but repopulates it with Americans, since all the locals were killed by the meteor strike!
Why wait?
We'll give you that kool page, from Fox's Mystery Man Comics #8 (1940), now!
Is that kool, or what?
TRIVIA: You may notice that pages 5-8 of this tale from Fox's Mystery Man Comics #7 (1940) have larger panels, and less-detailed art than the first four pages.
Did writer-artist Dick Briefer fall behind on the deadline and do the last four pages overnight?
Did the editor reject the original last four pages...forcing Briefer to re-write/re-draw them?
We'll never know...
