Reading Room: ATTACK ON PLANET MARS "Princess of the Electronized Tower"

When Last We Left Our Tyrant...

Art by Gene Fawcette

In the year 2430, Tarrano, an Earthman, has seized control of both the planet Venus and its outpost on Earth, Venia.

To that outpost, the tyrant has kidnapped Elza and Georg, children of the recently-murdered scientist, Dr Brende, along with reporter Jac Hallen.

Tarrano's agents have assassinated all the national leaders of Earth, leaving the various governments in a state of confusion.

Meanwhile, back in Venia...

"Here goes"...what?

Can the trio defeat an entire city?

Be Here Tomorrow to Find Out!

Based on the novel Tarrano the Conqueror by Ray Cummings, this chapter of the 1951 comic adaptation was penciled by Carmine Infantino and inked by Vince Alascia.

Reading Room: ATTACK ON PLANET MARS "Tarrano Strikes"

Does a Fate Worse than Death Await Elza?

And...What is Tarrano's Plan?

Defeat of the Lone Ranger

The Lone Ranger has met the one enemy he couldn't conquer..

The box office.
His new (and somewhat controversial) movie has bombed...badly.
To be fair, it did do better than John Carter...which didn't have any "marquee name" performers like Johnny Depp.
Despite this, our brother blog, Western Comics Adventures™ will continue entries all this month about the most famous Western duo in fiction (whom we've covered a number of times previously).

This Monday, you'll see a classic retelling of the team's origin.
Who knows, we may pull in more eyeballs than saw the movie...

Coming Monday: the ORIGIN of the Lone Ranger and Tonto...

...as told by Dan Reid...

...nephew of the Lone Ranger and father of the Green Hornet!

Read it Monday, only at Western Comics Adventures™!

San Diego "Tales from ComicCon" Shirts & Stuff!

On July 24th, 2010, at the San Diego ComicCon, reality became far more frightening than any horror comic book!
Thankfully, the victim survived, and  a suspect was quickly taken into custody.

Sadly, nerd-on-nerd crime is becoming a more common problem in our society than most people realize!
It is THE Threat to Our Way of Life that Dare Not Speak It's Name...mostly because people would roll on the floor laughing hysterically.

But this is NO laughing matter, citizens!
To draw attention to this growing menace to our way of life, we at Atomic Kommie Comics™ have produced this line of kool kollectibles for you to display at conventions so that this incident is not quickly forgotten by a jaded populace eager for the next cheap thrill!
We were warned!
We didn't listen!
We paid the price!
Remind everyone!
DR WERTHAM WAS RIGHT!
