Reading Room: BLAST-OFF "Space Court"
Here's an interesting little Twilight Zone-style tale...
This mild little story from Harvey Comics' Blast-Off #1 (and only) was penciled by Al Williamson, and inked by Roy Krenkel and Angelo Torres.
The writer is unknown.
According to the Kirby Museum, it was intended for the never-published Race for the Moon #5 in 1958, but remained unused until 1965!
And, it's never been reprinted!

Mars Attacks...AGAIN!
The series that inspired the wild Tim Burton movie is back...
Click on art to ENLARGE! Ack ack! |
Originally developed as a series of trading cards, Mars Attacks was created by Len Brown and Woody Gelman, after Brown was inspired by the Wally Wood cover to Weird Science #16.
The cards went on to achieve cult status for their then-shocking imagery, fully painted by pulp legend Norm Saunders, and remains a staple of pop culture.
Topps revived the franchise in the mid 1990s with a sequel card set, several comic book series, a pair of hardcover novels, and a toy line.
The story was also adapted into the 1996 feature film, Mars Attacks!, directed by Tim Burton.
Debuting in summer 2012, IDW’s comic series will offer the first stories of an all-new Mars Attacks universe, bringing the brand’s outrageous action and dark humor to a new set of tales.

The NEW Next Issue Project: Crack Comics #63
What if...after 60 years, the next issue of your favorite comic book FINALLY came out?
Art by Alan Weiss |
Admittedly, it seems like some current Marvel & DC titles have this problem, but writer-artist Erik Larsen decided to take REAL long-cancelled titles, and revive them as if they were just inadvertently-delayed...for six decades!
It's turned into an annual event, but it's always worth the wait to give some long-missing characters a "last hurrah".
For the third issue (after Fantastic Comics #24 and Silver Streak Comics #24), it's Crack Comics #63, starring Captain Triumph, the Clock (comic books' first masked hero), Alias the Spider, Space Legion, and other kool retro characters.
Alternate cover by Mike Allred |
If you're a fan of Golden Age comic characters, you should pick it up.
If you know a fan of Golden Age comic characters, you should pick it up, and give it to them as a present.
