Reading Room KING OF FUTURIA "The Wall Comes Tumbling Down!"

...the tale itself provides the synopsis for this Buck Rogers-esque saga of a 20th Century American in a post-apocalyptic future!

Damn, we 20th Century Americans were good at this save-the-world stuff!
The parallels with Buck Rogers become more apparent in this tale from Nedor's Mystery Comics #2 (1944), including a traitorous Earthman (Karlak) working with aliens, outnumbered and ill-equipped free humans, and a bad guy (Karlak again) who keeps surviving his apparent demises...as we shall see next time!

BTW, sadly, nobody can identify the writer and/or artist of the strip.

Reading Room AMAZING ADULT FANTASY "Ultimate Weapon"

Who, in 1962, could believe that we'd still be on the brink of nuclear war...in 1970?

Stan Lee and Steve Ditko thought so...and offered a potential solution...

Clever.
Would the solution proposed in Atlas' Amazing Adult Fantasy #13 (1962) work in reality?
North Korea doesn't have anything that can reach geostationary orbit (22,236 miles).
Iran has no nukes.
Russia and China both have the capability, but would they try to use it?
Think about it...

Trump Reading Room LIFE STORIES OF AMERICAN PRESIDENTS "Andrew Jackson"

Here's a never-reprinted bio of the President that Donnie Milhous Trump only dreams of being...

...illustrated by the one-and-only John Buscema!

Let's start with the fact Jackson was a decorated war hero, while Trump was a draft dodger.

Feel free to continue the comparisons (which go even further apart) from there...

Taken from Dell's Life Stories of American Presidents (1957) one-shot which covered every Chief Executive from George Washington to Dwight D Eisenhower, this is a brief and accurate look at "old Hickory", as he was known.

Regrettably, the writer is unknown.
