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.
