A "Lost Galaxy"?
Not The "Lost Galaxy"?
How many "Lost Galaxies" are out there?
And, is it really lost, or just misplaced? ;-)

Reading Room: SPACE ACTION "Invaders from a Lost Galaxy"
Monday, February 4, 2013
Before texting and blogs, there were Love Letters & Love Diaries!
In fact, they 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...
(or is that Love in School?)
will help get your point across on the Most Important of Days!
But order quickly, V-Day is only TEN days away!

Does Popular Culture Corrupt Kids?
For the answer, you must read...
...by Max Allan Collins with EC Comics-style illustrations by Terry Beatty and pulp-style cover by Glen Orbik!
Ironically, the subject matter is just as relevant today as it was back in the 1950s...
(You can read an excerpt HERE!)
Inspired by the real-life 1950s witch-hunt against crime and horror comics (much like the present crusade against video games and movies), Max Allan Collins' crime novel SEDUCTION OF THE INNOCENT gives you a slightly-skewed, but based on the facts, view of the history of comics loaded with Easter Eggs for any pop culture aficionado.
I'd offer you a link to buy a copy, but Amazon.com refuses to allow me to do so because I'm a resident of Illinois and New York, which charge Internet sales tax, so Amazon doesn't allow residents of either state to use their Associate program.

Reading Room: CAPTAIN SCIENCE "Lost World of Mindanao"
...well, that covers the background for this chapter, so let's go on!
The art on this never-reprinted story from Youthful's Captain Science #3 (1951) is by Gustav Schrotter.
The writer is unknown.
With the next issue, a major sci-fi artist takes over illustration duties.
You'll see the first of those tales next week.
