Reading Room JOURNEY INTO UNKNOWN WORLDS "Lost ... One World"

James Blane is in for a rough day...
...or is it a rough year...or decade...or...
"A chance to do your life over, with no memory of what you've done previously.
Would you repeat your mistakes, or take a different path...into the Twilight Zone?"
(Sorry, couldn't resist)
 This odd tale of time and turnover was the lead (but not the cover feature) in Atlas' Journey into Unknown Worlds #53 (1957).
However, these scans are from Marvel's Worlds Unknown #4 (1974), which had better reproduction.
Art by Bob Powell, but the writer is unknown.
BTW, The Grand Comics Database lists a totally-different Atlas "Lost ... One World", which predates this story, as being reprinted in that issue of Worlds Unknown!
That tale, which has never been reprinted, will appear next week!

Reading Room: Space Voyagers "Delta Brain"

...well, I guess that pretty well covers it.
Let's continue...
I don't think good 'ol James T Kirk could've handled that situation any better!
Scripted by Robert Kanigher, illustrated by Alex Nino, this never-reprinted tale from DC's Rima the Jungle Girl #2 (1974) showcases both the writer's and artist's storytelling strengths, demonstrating you can tell an effective tale in only two five-page segments.
It's an art that, sadly, seems to be lost to today's creators.

Reading Room: Space Voyagers "Four Tombs"

After too long a period, we rejoin the...
...as they continue their never-reprinted adventures from the 1970s!
Note the script credit for this tale from DC's Rima the Jungle Girl #1 (1974) is incorrect.
Robert Kanigher penned the story, not Jack Oleck.
The unmistakable art is by the underappreciated Alex Nino.
