The Barbarian Cometh!

The "barbarian in a post-apocalyptic future Earth" concept is a popular one...

...from Teenage Caveman to BlackMark to ClawFang to Kamandi to Killraven: Warrior of the Worlds to Planet of the Apes (Yes, PotA qualifies) to Thundarr to Yor: Hunter from the Future, scantly-clad heroes using primitive weapons against super-science and/or sorcery in a devastated world has proven to be a popular trope in various media.

Join us tomorrow as we present one of the best, though least-known...

YOU can be the Fighting Yank on Flag Day (or at least wear his uniforn shirt)!

With Flag Day approaching, why not adopt the vintage look of one of the most patriotic superheroes of World War II, the Fighting Yank (now appearing in Project SuperPowers), by wearing his uniform shirt emblazoned with a 1940s period-accurate 48-star flag unfurling proudly on the chest (Remember, Hawaii and Alaska didn't become states until the late 1950s!) and a tiny official Lost Heroes logo on the back collar area (where it won't be seen under your cape!).

Available as a sweatshirt or long-sleeve t-shirt, depending on how much padding you feel you need to achieve the "heroic" look you want.
Tricorn hat and knickers not included.
But a sport jacket or denim jacket might go better with it...

And, we offer the usual assortment of other kool kollectibles like Mugs, Messenger Bags, Magnets, etc. with the unfurled Old Glory fluttering proudly...

Reading Room CLIFF HANGER "Chapter Three: Voice of Doom"

We Have Already Seen...

...ok, that covers it!

Let's continue...

Is Cliff Doomed?

What Will Become of Jill?

Does the Madman Have a Fate Worse than Death in Store For Her?

Be Here in Two Weeks as the Non-Stop Action Continues!

Written by Bruce Jones and illustrated by Al Williamson, this backup strip from Pacific Comics' Somerset Holmes #3 (1983) perfectly conveys the fun and excitement of 1930s-40s movie serials!

Reading Room BUCCANEERS "Black Roger and the FireDrake"

Let's rejoin comics' premier Muslim fighter...

...as he once more faces them along the Barbary Coast!

Sadly, the writer and artist for this kool tale from Quality's Buccaneers #23 (1950) are unknown, but their imagination in using anachronistic elements like the "FireDrake" certainly livens up the story with fantastic, but not totally-implausable elements.

Reading Room: FLASH GORDON "Chapter Two: Prisoners of Molluskum"

When Last We Left Our Intergalactic Hero...

Flash, Dale, and Zarkov head for Torneo (Mongo's "City of Tournaments", to open the non-lethal Olympic-style games that replaced the annual "Games of Death".
However, Azura, Queen of Black Magic kidnaps Flash for, as yet, unknown reasons!
Flash overpowers the kidnappers and the ship crashes into the sea...

What's Azura's Plan?
Find Out...in Two Weeks!
The opening and closing illustrations by Al Williamson for this post were the inside front and back covers to this tale from Marvel Select's Flash Gordon #1 (1995).

The tale is written (and probably laid-out) by Mark (Xenozoic Tales) Schultz.
