Trump Reading Room HILLBILLY COMICS "Inquiring Artist" & "Meeting of the Staff of Hillbilly Comics!"

Let's look at two short features starring Don (the Con) Trump's "deplorables"...

These never-reprinted strips from Charlton's Hillbilly Comics #1 (1955) seem to mirror the mind-set of those whom Don (the Con) Trump lovingly-referred to as "poorly-educated".

Writer /artist Art Gates never imagined his work from over a half-century ago would be relevant decades later!

Reading Room: WORLD OF FANTASY "When a Planet Dies!"

Let's end the week with a never-reprinted Silver Age tale...

...about a leader whose overweening ego leads his people to disaster!

Not seen since its' publication in Atlas' World of Fantasy #17 (1959), this tale by plotter Stan Lee, scripter Larry Lieber, and artist Don Heck goes a step further than similar stories about "worlds within worlds" by suggesting a dimensional barrier between the two "realities"!

Otherwise the aliens would've been seeing a giant eye peering at them instead of stars in the vacuum of outer space!

IS THIS TOMORROW? Communists and Propaganda

Unlike Don (the Con) Trump, even children 70 years ago knew how Russkies use propaganda...

...as this 1940s tale on our "brother" RetroBlog, Seduction of the Innocent! demonstrates!

Remember that Jabba the Trump's buddy, Vladimir Putin, is both a KGB officer and high-ranking Communist Party member!

(If you believe Vlad's "ex" KGB and Communist Party, his actions in this [and other] matters would say otherwise...)

Reading Room WAR COMICS "Greg Gilday and the Martians" Part 2

We Have Already Seen...

...wow!

This strip is running at mach speed, adding genres every minute!

Greg Gilday isn't just Superman!
He's Moses, too!
In the Golden Age, creators, unrestrained by preconceptions, tried genre mash-ups we wouldn't dream of doing today, hoping to find a "hook" to grab readers!
Drawn (and probably written) by Richard Fletcher, this never-reprinted series only ran three chapters (this is the second, from Dell's War Comics #3, published in 1940) before disappearing despite the final strip ending with a caption promising more adventures!
Note: the Richard Fletcher who did this strip is not the Dick Fletcher who worked with Chester Gould before taking over as the artist on the Dick Tracy newspaper strip in 1977.
This guy is Richard Martin Fletcher.
The Dick Tracy artist was Richard E Fletcher and didn't begin his art career until after being diacharged from the Army in 1945.

Trump Reading Room LOUIE LAZYBONES "Everything's Vine!"

Let's look in on the adventures of Don (the Con) Trump's "deplorables"...

...and see what America might look like under their control...

Created in 1943, Looie Lazybones floated around the Nedor Comics line as a "filler" strip until settling down in Thrilling Comics as of #56 (1946).

Young up-and-comer Frank Frazetta took over the art a couple of issues before this never-reprinted tale in #68 (1948) bringing it amazingly-close in visual style to the strip's "inspiration", Al Capp's Li'l Abner, which had already become a media sensation, with a radio show, feature film and tons of merchandising!

So close, in fact, that Capp hired Frazetta to "ghost" Li'l Abner in 1954!
BTW, the writer is unknown.
