Reading Room: AMAZING ADVENTURES "Escape on a Planetoid"

What if the Communusts had won the Cold War?

That's the premise of this never-reprinted tale from Ziff-Davis' Amazing Adventures #3 (1951)

Oddly, they never asked Rulak what happened to the second ship...
The writer and artist are officially unknown, but I see a great deal of Murphy Anderson's style in a number of panels.

Reading Room: MYSTERIES OF UNEXPLORED WORLDS "World Where I was King!"

We could call this "The Challenge that Made a Man Out of Bill Jones..."

...since it's a plotline out of the Charles Atlas ads that used to appear on the back covers of comic books, but with a fantasy twist!

This tale of alpha males on other worlds from Charlton's Mysteries of Unexplored Worlds #3 (1957) was illustrated by the legendary Steve Ditko and an unknown writer (who could be Ditko himself or Joe Gill)!

Reading Room: EERIE "Man Hunters"

A few days ago we presented one of comic legend Wally Wood's earliest stories...

...today we present one of his last tales, done during the period Warren Publishing was dabbling in color inserts in their normally black-and-white magazines.

Published in Eerie #60 (1974), this tender tale was scripted by Gerry Boudreau and illustrated by Wally Wood with some assistance from his studio crew.

Reading Room: AMAZING ADVENTURES "Deal to Die"

Here's a never-reprinted short tale with a Twilight Zone-style ending...

...from the final issue of Ziff-Davis' sci-fi anthology Amazing Adventures!

I wonder if Zoro's husband, Space Captain Ventra was as big a SoB as Bernice's spouse, Harold Longton was...

Illustrated by the relatively-unknown Lawrence (Louis) Dresser, this story from Amazing Adventures #6 (1952) has no credited writer.

Too bad, because it's a memorable piece for a shorter-than-usual filler.
