Due to Technical Difficulties (redux)...

...with Google+'s Photo app, which no longer edits pix, we're unable to bring you today's scheduled post.
However, we now have a new work-flow using another app in place, and goodies will be back tomorrow!

Design of the Week CRIMES BY WOMEN!

Each week, we post a limited-edition design, to be sold for exactly 7 days, then replaced with another.
This week: Vacation is over, time to get back to work or school!
So why not acknowledge the fact that the workplace and/or classroom can be a battlefield with this cool catfight comic cover from Fox's Crimes by Women #6 (1949)?
Available on adult t-shirts, mugs, e-reader, laptop, and phone cases, and many other goodies!

Joe Worker and the Story of Labor

Because it is Labor Day weekend...
...we thought it would be worthwhile to re-present a comic about the labor movement!
It's not "light" reading, but we think it's a worthwhile way to spend a half-hour (or less) on a day commemorating the labor movement!

Reading Room: BLAST-OFF! 3 Rocketeers "Great Moon Mystery"

Three-day weekend coming up.
Let's blow your mind...
Art by Joe Simon, Jack Kirby, and Al Williamson.
...with a tale that starts with finding an unconscious TV star on the Moon and gets wilder and wilder...
IIRC, Carl Sagan postulated a similar concept decades later about wormhole travel in the novel Cosmos...
Intended for the never-published Race for the Moon #4 (1960), this Jack Kirby/Al Williamson collaboration finally saw print in Harvey's Blast-Off #1 (1965), long after Kirby, along with Stan Lee, Steve Ditko, and others began the amazing resurrection of the almost-defunct Atlas Comics line into Marvel Comics!
