Earth Attacks!

We've landed on Mars...

...or at least a laser-armed nuclear-powered robot vehicle has landed on Mars!
Really!

 What would happen if Martians sent laser-armed, nuclear-powered vehicles to Earth?

Much MORE Fun Bunny action HERE!

Oh...

We Interrupt our RetroBlogs™ Marathons...

...to announce a schedule change.

Originally we were going to present...

...in Hero Histories™.

But a server failure resulted in the loss of the files for that week's features.

(Luckily, we have a backup set, so we'll be presenting the complete HellRider saga next week.)

But fear not, faithful one!

We're moving up one of the most anticipated features of all to this week...

...the only (never-reprinted) book-length adventure of Jet Dream and her Stunt-Girl CounterSpies starting tomorrow in Heroines™!

It's "Jet-a-Reeno" Kool!

FANTOMAS by Louis Feuillade

Finally got to see the first great movie series/serial...

...binging on the five films that comprise the 1913-14 Fantomas series...and I'm absolutely blown away!

Yes, they're almost a century old b/w silent films, but these are wonderfully-pulpish over-the-top mystery-action flicks that beat the pants off most of the over-CGIed crap that passes for cinema today!

If you've never read the books (and I haven't), there are some wild twists and turns, and a series finale that places the evil protagonist, Fantomas on a level with Doctor Doom or The Joker as THE villain who can never be caught/killed!

Steve Reeves IS Hercules in HERCULES & HERCULES UNCHAINED

Skip the pablum and have some peplum today with...

at
Secret Sanctum of Captain Video™ 
as we go to sunny Italy for a solid six days of posts featuring the comic adaptations of two sword and sandal (with a hint of sorcery) sagas starring the one-and-only Steve Reeves!
HERCULES

...featuring the manly art of John Buscema
and...
HERCULES UNCHAINED

 ...with muscular renderings by Reed Crandall and George Evans!

The testosterone will be oozing off your screen!
(which could be kind of messy...)

PLUS: You can see and compare the actual movies to the comic adaptations!

Reading Room: JUMPIN' JUPITER "In Space, No One Can Hear You Laugh"

If you thought Jumpin' Jupiter's first story was weird...

..his third appearance from Weird Tales of the Future #4 (1953) is gonna make you plotz!

Whether it's his ongoing SpaceHawk strip or any of the numerous one-shot tales he did, Wolverton's Golden Age output was always instantly-recognizable!

This humor strip ran in #2 thru #5 of Key Publications' Weird Tales of the Future, along with several sci-fi/horror stories also written and illustrated by the amazing Basil!
