Reading Room: VOYAGE TO THE DEEP "Disaster Rises" Conclusion

We Have Already Seen...
An unnamed enemy has tilted the Earth's axis, creating tsunamis that have already destroyed most of the East Coast south of Washington DC, with the US capital and New York City soon to follow.
The nuclear sub Proteus heads towards the Mariana Trench in an attempt to counteract the threat, but it is attacked by a gigantic sea creature awakened by the catastrophe...
What the hell just happened?
This is, easily, one of the weirdest comics ever published.
I wonder if the other three issues in the series are equally-obtuse...
The never-reprinted tale features art by Sam Glanzman (who also did the Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea feature film adaptation), but the scriptwriter is unknown.

Flash Gordon #6 Cover Preview

There's no Flash Gordon like a "classic" Flash Gordon.
Have you ever noticed that all the attempts to "update" the character modify hm so much as to be unrecognizable?
(Remember the Smallville-ized Sci-Fi, er, SyFy version?)
Thankfully, Dynamite's current series goes back to the basics, combining the best of Alex Raymond's original with the movie serial, feature film, and Filmation tv series to make a kool pastiche almost on the level of the Dini-Timm-McDuffie DC Animated universe.
Top it off with superb covers like this one for #6 by Francesco Francavilla, and it's a must-have package for high-adventure fans of all ages.

For Valentine's Day, She'll Love...Love Diaries and Love Letters!

Art by John Buscema
Until the intro of texting, blogs, MySpace and FaceBook, the main way people kept track of their love lives was thru Love Diaries & Love Letters!
In fact, those contents of those small books with the easily-broken locks made up one of the most popular sub-categories of romance comics, with literally dozens of titillating titles!

Let our selection of the best of these these kitchy, campy (and very kool) classic comics covers help you express your true feelings on the Most Important of Days--Valentines Day on greeting cards, teddy bears, mugs, and even "naughty" undies!

And, if they can't assist your love-life, perhaps something from one of our other sections at True Love Comics Tales™ including...
All You Need is Love...
Beatrice Fairfax
Confessions
Lovers Lane
School of Love (or is that Love in School?)
WarTime Love
Weddings
Western Love
will help get your point across on the Most Important of Days!

Reading Room: SPACEHAWK "Creeping Death from Neptune"

How could you not want to read a story with a title like that?
Plus: story and art by the unique (to put it mildly) Basil Wolverton!
This premiere tale from Target Comics V1 N5 (1940) was just the tip of the iceberg!
There's much more interstellar weirdness from the mind and pen of Basil Wolverton to come!
