Reading Room CAPTAIN SCIENCE "Spawn of Pathor"

It's been awhile since we last looked in on...
...as a new artist takes a crack at the character!
Artist Tex Blaisdell makes a valiant effort to match the Joe Orlando/Wally Wood art style from the previous few issues, but it comes up short in this never-reprinted story from Youthful's Captain Science #6 (1951).

Design of the Week Redux EASTER WITH MOTHER GOOSE!

Each week, we post a limited-edition design, to be sold for exactly 7 days, then replaced with another...unless it sells really well, like this one!
Then we "redux" it and extend it's run by a week!

Since Easter is coming, we thought we'd present an absolutely adorable piece from the 1940s by the legendary Walt (Pogo) Kelly featuring a puppy, kitten, and bunny with surprised looks on their faces as the egg they're painting hatches, producing yet another cute animal...a chick!

You just don't see stuff like this anymore!
So, why not order some kidswear or basket stuffers with this one-week-only graphic?
Everyone who sees it will go "Awwww."
