Reading Room CAPTAIN JOHNER AND THE ALIENS "Dream Makers"

...where surprises await the Earthmen!
Note that we readers never see the Dream Makers' true forms.
This Russ Manning created/scripted/illustrated tale from Gold Key's Magnus: Robot Fighter #7 (1964) predates classic Star Trek's similarly-themed ep "Is There in Truth No Beauty?" by four years.

Trump Reading Room aka the Outhouse HICKORY "Dewey Drip: Bar"

A new feature...comics that appeal to the intellect of Don the Con's audience!

The one-page filler, created, written and illustrated by John Devlin, appeared in most issues of Police Comics, beginning with the very first one.
It also popped up in Crack Comics and Plastic Man when a one-pager was needed.
This appearance in Quality's Hickory Comics #1 (1949) was the strip's final one.

Reading Room: WOLFF "Lady of the Wolves"

...he had been cursed to become a literal version of his name...a lycanthrope!
Is Wolff fated to repeat this nightmare whenever the Moon is full?
Or is there a way to defeat the curse?
While this chapter of the Wolff saga, written by Luis Gasca (aka Sadko) & Estaban Maroto and illustrated by Maroto from New English Library's Dracula #5 (1972) leaves us hanging, the next chapter will offer an answer...though it might not be one Wolff likes!
Join us in July at our "brother" RetroBlog Hero Histories, as we complete the Wolff Saga!
