Holiday Reading Room EASTER WITH MOTHER GOOSE "Humpty Dumpty"
A new, Easter-themed variation on a classic nursery rhyme...
... courtesy of writer/artist Walt (Pogo) Kelly!
Walt Kelly also used Humpty in other Mother Goose comic stories.
Oddly, the cover, also by Walt Kelly, features a radically-different version of Humpty...

Reading Room BLACK MAGIC "Way Out!"
From the final issue (#50 from 1961) of Prize's Black Magic...
..is a never-reprinted tale that might seem familiar to EC Comics fans!
Compare the last page to the last page below...
Did Black Magic editor Joe Simon swipe the Bill Gaines/Al Feldstein script for this tale, "Round Trip" from EC's Weird Science-Fantasy #28 (1955)?
Or was he given the script by a lazy writer who hoped he didn't recognize it?
We'll never know...

Reading Room BLACK MAGIC "Black Fog"
A never-reprinted 1960s Steve Ditko story is, literally, a buried treasure...
...and this long-unseen tale from Prize's Black Magic #47 (1961) has just been uncovered for your enjoyment!
Considering this is Ditko's only Prize Comics work since the pre-Comics Code days when he assisted in the Simon & Kirby studio, some speculate it was a rejected Charlton story that was "shopped around" to other publishers.
If that's the case, the unidentified writer is more than likely Joe Gill, who wrote almost all Ditko's stories at Charlton during this period.

Reading Room NOT BRAND ECHH "King Konk '68"
You might have heard there's a new movie coming this weekend...
...and before it arrives, we thought we'd take a look at an earlier tale about the big guy...sorta...
There's lots of then-topical references to people and events of the late 1960s, so those not old enough to remember them might want to Google some the subjects.
The protagonists are Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, the Brangelina of the 60s-70s.
Many references are to their movies together like Butterfield 8 ("Butterfield Ape")
Other celebs include Hugh Hefner and Hubert Humphrey.
There are also cameos by now-obscure comics characters like Phantom Eagle and Blackhawk.
Written by Roy Thomas and illustrated by Tom Sutton (with a cover and celeb caricatures in the story by Marie Severin), this mini-classic was hidden in comics collectors' longboxes for over 40 years until Marvel finally reprinted it in a Not Brand Echh Masterwork.
