Reading Room: WEIRD TALES OF THE FUTURE "Purple Mists"

The perils of exploring the universe are many and varied...

...as seen in this never-reprinted story from Key Publications' Weird Tales of the Future #6 (1953)!

Though it's implied that one of the guys Rex and Tom shot was Rex's brother, that point is more-or-less ignored!

The writer is unknown, but artist Hy Fleishman signed his work in the first panel.

Fleishman worked for numerous publishers during the 1950s including Atlas (later Marvel), Story, Key, and Lev Gleason in various genres including horror, war, sci-fi, western, romance, and even humor.

Reading Room: BLAZE BARTON "and the World of the Future"

You think global warming is bad now, wait until 50,020 AD...

...when only Blaze Barton and his scientist friend Prof Solis stand between mankind and total annihilation!

Though the Core-Men remained an ongoing threat, the strip quickly changed emphasis to outer space as Blaze and associates began traveling to other worlds.

You'll see his entire 13-story run on this blog over the next few months.

While the writer of this premiere tale from Quality's Hit Comics #1 (1940) is unknown, the artist was Henry Kiefer, a craftsman with over 400 comics stories and covers from 1935 to 1954 including numerous Classics Illustrated adaptations.

Reading Room: KENTON OF THE STAR PATROL "Alien Raiders"

When interstellar crime occurs, there's only one man to call...

...as this exciting tale from Avon's Strange Planets #3 (1951) demonstrates!

This second Kenton story is Joe Orlando and Wally Wood's first work on the strip (Joe Kubert illustrated the character's first appearance).

Orlando and Wood would subsequently do all but the last Kenton tale, despite a very hectic schedule in 1951, including other Avon Comics work, illustrating the ongoing Captain Science strip plus miscellaneous short stories for Youthful Publishing, and numerous EC Comics assignments in various genres, before going exclusively to EC for a couple of years.
