Roosevelt Reading Room LIFE STORIES OF AMERICAN PRESIDENTS "Franklin D Roosevelt"

While John Buscema was an obvious choice to illustrate the dynamic Teddy Roosevelt...

...he did an equally-superb job on the story of FDR!

Yet another never-reprinted chapter from Dell's Life Stories of American Presidents (1957), wonderfully-illustrated by the man who did the whole 100-page book, John Buscema!

Tomorrow, we re-tell the stories of Teddy and FDR from another never-reprinted educational comic...World Around Us!

Roosevelt Reading Room LIFE STORIES OF AMERICAN PRESIDENTS "Theodore Roosevelt"

With Ken Burns' The Roosevelts running on PBS...

...we thought we'd show how educational comics portrayed them, beginning with the Rough Rider!

This never-reprinted tale from Dell's Life Stories of American Presidents (1957) features the superb artwork of John Buscema.

Edited (and possibly written) by Helen Meyer.

If you think Buscema did a great job with the dynamic Teddy, wait until tomorrow, when he tackles the wheelchair-bound FDR in a masterful bit of effective storytelling!

Reading Room SPACE FALCON "Pirate of the Stratosphere"

If you're a Golden Age or sci-fi comics fan, you've read the adventures of SpaceHawk...

...but I seriously doubt you've even heard of Space Falcon!

If you don't know who Space Falcon is, it's quite understandable.

His only, never-reprinted, appearance was in PL Publishing's first and only issue of Captain Rocket (1951)!

In fact, PL was one of the least successful comic publishers in history, lasting less than a year and producing only eight titles, none of which ran more than three issues!

Reading Room MEDUSA CHAIN Conclusion

Read Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4. and Part 5.

Then ask yourself...

I'd like to be able to say "The Medusa Chain will continue...", but it didn't.

Unfortunately, the book (and most of the DC Graphic Novel series) sold poorly, and the project ended after only six issues.

(The exception was Jack Kirby's The Hunger Dogs.)

It was revived a year later as DC Science Fiction Graphic Novel, using adaptations of prose novels by big genre names like Robert Bloch, Harlan Ellison and Ray Bradbury and comics pros like Keith Giffen and Klaus Janson, but fared equally-poorly, ending after seven issues.
