Reading Room: LARS OF MARS "Terror Weapon" Part 1

Old Commie Villains Never Die...

...they just return in the next issue, as the guy who doesn't just play a Martian on TV, but is a Martian playing an actor playing a Martian on TV while fighting crime in real life (got that?) discovers...

What Next?

Will Lars Stop Raskov?

Will Raskov Stop (and/or Kill) Lars?

Be Here Tomorrow for the Astounding Conclusion!

Written by Jerry Siegel, illustrated by Murphy Anderson, this was the cover-featured tale from Ziff-Davis' Lars of Mars #11 (1951), the second (and last issue) of the series!

Reading Room TOMB OF THE GODS "Horus"

The 1970s was a time of experimentation in comics...

...and one of the more interesting strips appeared in the back of Warren's b/w magazine Vampirella, beginning with this cover-featured tale...which may be NSFW...

Written and illustrated by Esteban Maroto, the strip played with a number of mythological characters from various pantheons, offering twists on the long-established legends.

This premiere tale appeared in Warren's Vampirella #17 (1972) with other Tomb of the Gods entries appearing irregularly until #23.

Reading Room KEN BRADY: ROCKET PILOT "Pirates of the Airways"

Here's a never-reprinted tale of high adventure in the 21st Century...

...from the co-creator of Superman and the definitive artist of Dracula!

This tale from Ziff-Davis' Lars of Mars #10* (1951) was written by Jerry Siegel and illustrated by Gene Colan.
Like the book he appeared in, Captain Ken Brady only made two appearances.
The "Police in Space" genre was incredibly-popular during the early 1950s with numerous tv shows and comic books dedicated to military and para-military organizations defending us from alien menaces!

*Though it's number "10", this was actually the first issue of Lars of Mars.

We're not sure which other Ziff-Davis title's numbering this run continues from.
