Reading Room SILVER SURFER: THE ULTIMATE COSMIC EXPERIENCE Part 5

We Have Already Seen...

(Yes, this is the Jack Kirby/Joe Sinnott original for the unused cover for the graphic novel.

It served as the basis for Earl Norem's painted version that appeared on both the hardcover and paperback editions from Simon & Schuster.)

While Galactus prepares to devour the Earth, the Silver Surfer attempts to prove to Ardina that the planet and its' people are worth defending from the Devourer of Planets...

What next?

Does the Surfer survive?

Where's Ardina?

And what of the ever-hungry Galactus?

Dare you miss the next, exciting chapter?

Tell Your Loved One "Giddiyap, Sweetie!" on Valentines Day!

Valentine's Day is almost upon us, and nothing says "I Love You" like gunpowder, horse blankets, and guys who don't bathe for days, right?
Right?
Someone thought so back in the 1950s, when two of the most popular genres--romances and Westerns were combined into Western romances (or Romantic Westerns) in both prose fiction and comics.
True Love Comics Tales™ has digitally-restored and remastered the best of the comic cover art from that all-too-brief shining period of American literature for a new line of Valentine's Day goodies including greeting cards, diaries, teddy bears, even shirts, tops, and, well...bottoms for men and women at Western Love™
Just the thing for the cowboy or cowgirl in your life!

RAUMPATROUILLE "Kampf um die Sonne" (Battle for the Sun)

We've seen sci-fi tropes like evil aliens, psycho robots, and wandering planets,

...now we confront two topics once considerered sci-fi, but are now part of daily life in the 21st century: global warming (bad) and feminism/women's rights (good), but told from a 1960s perspective!

Note: We've tried to embed the English subtitles, but if they don't come up automatically, go to the "gear" icon on the lower right, and set them manually.)
More 1960s sci-fi next Monday!

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!
