Trump Reading Room HILLBILLY COMICS "MacSleezys: New York AND Bust"

When Last We Left Don the Con's Typical "Deplorables"...

...heck, I'll let the writer present a synopsis of the tale for me...

Written and illustrated by Art Gates, this tale from Charlton's Hillbilly Comics #2 (1955) was part of a brief trend in comic books during the Li'l Abner series' greatest popularity in the mid-1950s!

Reading Room FANTASTIC WORLDS "Asteroid God"

Some call Golden Age sci-fi "Westerns with ray guns"...

...but it could also be "jungle tales with aliens instead of natives", as this tale demonstrates!

John Celardo illustrated this story from Standard's Fantastic Worlds #7 (1953), the final issue of a short-lived anthology that featured artwork by Alex Toth, Ross Andru & Mike Esposito, Gil Kane, and Murphy Anderson, among others.

Sir John Hurt (1940-2017)

Somebody, after seeing Alien, said about John Hurt...

.."Never has an actor been more aptly-named!"

Hurt portrayed an amazing assortment of tormented characters over the years, especially in genre films!

And, sadly, a role that may presage the fate of all of us...
Rest Well, Sir John. And God Help the Rest of Us...
