Reading Room COMMANDER BATTLE AND THE ATOMIC SUB "Journey to the Moon!"

If you thought spaceships with propellers were weird...

...how about using an atomic submarine to get there!

(You read that right!)

Be Here Next Monday
for the astounding conclusion...

I'm surprised Irwin Allen never did a Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea episode like this!
Making a submarine into a spaceship seems like the sort of thing he would've loved to do.
Adding a kid sidekick, though, is never a good idea.

They end up taking over the spotlight, and the series' emphasis goes from soft sci-fi to kid-show.
Note: SeaQuest DSV did have it's sub go into outer space...transported by aliens to their homeworld at the end of the second season/beginning of the third season!
This tale from ACG's Commander Battle and the Atomic Sub #3 (1954) was produced by series creators Editor Richard Hughes (writer) and Sheldon Moldoff (illustrator).

G & PG-rated Happy Halloween "Horrors"

September is here, school has started, the leaves are turning orange and brown, and already our somewhat-warped thoughts naturally turn to...HALLOWEEN, the koolest holiday of all!
We at Atomic Kommie Comics™ have told you about our Horror Comics of the 1950s™ and Seduction of the Innocent™ sections, PLUS the Martians, Martians, Martians™ category of The Future WAS Fantastic™, all of which have kool retro horror-oriented goodies year-round for the older kids-at-heart.
But what about something for the younger crowd, the tweens and pre-teens, the toddlers and babies?
Well, never let it be said we ignored a target demographic!
We have a kreepy-kool Haunted Halloween™ section with a subsection specifically-for those little ones who want a slightly-scary take on the spectral and spooky, as well as one for the 7-13 category who want a bit more meat on the bone (as it were).
We're offering Yard Signs, plus; invitation cards, and greeting cards, which we'll customize/personalize, with a message of your choice in a frightening font, for...FREE!
Note to the older crowd, sorry, but the shirts 'n stuff are kid-sized only.

Reading Room (JOURNEY INTO) UNKNOWN WORLDS "Monster of Moog"

We conclude our re-presentation of (Journey into) Unknown Worlds' first issue...

...with the lead (but not cover-featured) story!

(That one was featured HERE.)

If there was ever a single story that encapsulated almost all the classic cliches of bad sci-fi, this one is it!

On the other hand, if features some early Russ Heath art unseen since 1950!

So just put your brain on "pause" and enjoy...

Reading Room (JOURNEY INTO) UNKNOWN WORLDS "Prisoner of TIme"

Here's a weird tale, even by the loose standards of 1950s sci-fi...

...and told by persons unknown!

Neither the writer nor artist(s) for this never-reprinted story from Atlas' Unknown Worlds #36 (1950) have been conclusively identified, though some think longtime Atlas/Marvel production pro Sol Brodsky penciled it.
