Reading Room: SPACE ADVENTURES "Jealousy on Kano"

One of comics legend Bernie Krigstein's few non-EC art jobs...

...which was probably unused material that Charlton purchased when they bought out Ziff-Davis' inventory.

From Space Adventures #16 (1955), it has the same look as Krigstein's SpaceBusters or Space Patrol material from the early 1950s, not his EC work from this period.

Reading Room: SPEED CARTER: SPACEMAN "BirdMen of Uranus"

The 1950s, when heroic astronauts fought for Truth, Justice, and the American Way...

 ..against the Uranians, who apparently are the space-age counterparts of the Chinese Communists, as least until the end of this lead story from Speed Carter: SpaceMan #2 (1953)!

While physics isn't my strong point, they must still be in the atmosphere, not the vacuum of space, or Kondor's wings wouldn't work!

Written by Hank Chapman, illustrated by Joe Maneely!

Speed Carter and the Space Sentinels will return in the (dare I say?) near future!

Return of the Ants, Man!

Due to the mild winter, the ants are back in the kitchen...in force!

Makes you wonder if Henry Pym's a little perturbed he wasn't included in the Avengers movie, and is getting his six-legged friends to "lobby" for his big screen debut...
