I mean, "Martians Approaching" truly says it all!

Co-writer Bruce Spaulding Fuller takes over the art from Greg Capullo, going even gorier than the original card set!

...and yes, it was a little longer than we intended between posts.

Sorry about that.

Luckily, the author can fill you in on what you may have forgotten...

Now, let's continue...

With this conclusion of the "Moon Expedition" two-parter from Fawcett's Captain Midnight #50 (1947), Captain Midnight became a full-fledged Space Hero, with an off-Earth adventure (usually cover-featured) in almost every issue until the end of his Golden Age run.
There were still occasional down-to-earth criminals and saboteurs, but extraterrestrials became the primary foes of the Sovereign of the Skies!

Friday Fun CRAZY, MAN, CRAZY! "Hollywood Version"

Some complain that movies and TV shows take too many liberties when adapting classic literature...

...and to that we say...DAMN STRAIGHT!

This never-reprinted feature from Charlton's short-lived MAD Magazine clone Crazy Man, Crazy! V2N1 (1955) shows they were already doing it almost 70 years ago!

Here's the "pilot episode" for an ongoing comic series that never came about...

...but did see publication in Key's Weird Tales of the Future #1 (1952)!

It's an interesting premise, and the publishers even gave the story the coveted cover slot...

Art by Ross Andru and ?

...yet next issue, Jerry and Jill were nowhere to be found!

So, what happened?

With a cool (if somewhat implausible) story by an uncredited scripter and pencils (and possible inks) by Ross Andru, it seemed like the sort of ongoing feature that could anchor a title.

Was a second story commissioned?

We'll never know...
