Reading Room OUT OF THIS WORLD "Manana!"

Procrastination can be a killer...literally!

Sometimes, though, a subtle warning proves to be enough...

Written by Joe Gill and rendered by Steve Ditko, this Twilight Zone-esque story from Charlton's Out of This World #9 (1957) is one of Ditko's most-reprinted non-series tales!

Reading Room: MYSTICAL TALES "Try-Out!"

Here's a never-reprinted tale from 1957...

...that could never be told today!

See if you can figure out why...

Consider...what current technology could be used in the place of the projector?

If the protaganist used anything like a smart phone, tablet, or other hand-held device, the audience would just claim another, hidden, device was supplying the images!

But when this story appeared in Atlas' Mystical Tales #8 (1957), tech was a lot simpler!

If artist Sid Check's work (especially the inking) looks similar to Wally Wood's, there's a good reason for it...Check worked in the same studio as Wood, Joe Orlando, and Harry Harrison, often assisting them the way they assisted him when deadlines loomed!

BTW, the writer is unknown!

Trump Reading Room DEATH RATTLE "Foreshadow"

Like Trump's "deplorables", the primitives below fail to actually listen...

...in this never-reprinted tale from Kitchen Sink's Death Rattle V1N2 (1973)!

Besides underground comics, he also worked on Marvel's Howard the Duck, and was the primary artist on the original run of Garbage Pail Kids from Topps Cards!

It's Summertime! Drink KOOBA KOLA!

Wait a second...You CAN'T!
It doesn't exist!
(You can read the sordid tale of the soda that almost took the world by storm here!)

You can't DRINK it, but you can WEAR it!
It's the height of summer, and we at Atomic Kommie Comics™ decided to re-present the Soda That Would Not Die on collectibles ranging from BeachWear / NightShirts to mugs, iPad / netbook / messenger bags (and the irony of doing bags with "Kooba" on them hasn't escaped us!), and hoodies at KoobaCola 1 and KoobaCola 2!
So celebrate what could have been one of the bubbliest success stories of soft drink entepreneurship, but instead just fizzled out and fell flat!
(You just knew we were gonna do a pun like that, didn't you?)  ;-)
