Reading Room: RACE FOR THE MOON: 3 Rocketeers "Long, Long Years"

The first of the 3 Rocketeers stories illustrated by Jack Kirby and Al Williamson.
Exactly who wrote them is questionable.
Though Joe Simon was the editor of Race for the Moon (and later, Blast-Off), it's not certain if he wrote the Kirby-penciled tales. (If there's info about this in Simon's autobiography, please let me know.)

Golden Age Comic NEGRO ROMANCE on PBS' "History Detectives"

Our "sister" blog, True Love Comics Tales™ is running a classic romance tale from the very HTF 1950s comic Negro Romance, which was recently featured on PBS' series History Detectives!
One of the few pre-1960s comics that didn't feature stereotyped Black characters, and there are links to the History Detectives website and the complete segment from the show.

Who Knows What Evil Lurks in the Hearts of Men? Alex Ross!

Yep, that's The Shadow, as rendered by Alex Ross.
Dynamite Entertainment, who've already done successful revivals of The Green Hornet (despite the awful movie), Lone Ranger, Zorro, and the various Golden Age heroes of Project SuperPowers, now has the rights to the Man with the Power to Cloud Men's Minds!
If they do half as good a job as they've done with the characters listed above, I'll be a dedicated buying customer!

And, now a word from our sponsor (us)...

YouTube Wednesday CONAN THE BARBARIAN

Yeah, there's a new Conan in town, but will he really make us forget Ahnuld the Barbarian, even three decades later?

(BTW, the narrator is Orson Welles...The greatest of the actors to play The Shadow on radio!)
While I have nothing against Jason Momoa (I liked him in Game of Thrones and StarGate: Atlantis)...

...can he deliver a line like this?

I'll wait for Conan the Musical...
