Reading Room SILENT INVASION "The Stubbinsville Connection Part 1: Atomic Spies!"
Here's a long-lost series that deserves to be revived...
..with it's weird n' wild genre-mixing that's back in vogue in pop culture!
Do We Have to Tell You?
Writers Larry Hancock & John Ellis Sech and illustrator Michael Cherkas start the saga off with a bang, eh?Renegade's Silent Invasion #1 (1986) came as a surprise to comics fans at the tail-end of the 1980s b/w explosion.
It wasn't a spoof or rip-off, as most of the era's title's were.
The creative team's only credit before this was a detective strip; Dick Mallet; that appeared in the back of Cerebus for several months!
But publisher Deni Sim saw potential in the presentation they made to her, and gave the go-ahead for a bi-monthly book.

Len Wein (1948-2017)
Most remember Len Wein for co-creating Swamp Thing, Wolverine, and the All-New, All-Different X-Men...
 |
| FOOM Magazine #10 Cover Original Art by Dave Cockrum |
(...particularly, Storm, Colossus, and NightCrawler.)
But I prefer to remember his earlier, quirky projects like...
 |
| Hot Wheels #6 Cover Art by Neal Adams & Dick Giordano |
(based on the cartoon series based on the toy line)
 |
| Wild West Action #1 Cover Art by Syd Shores and Mike Esposito |
(An ethnically-diverse assortment of Western heroes)
and his (believe it or not)...
...romance comics work!
and his (believe it or not)...
 |
| Secret Hearts #148 Contents Page Art by Gray Morrow |
Len was not a one-trick pony!
He had an interest in almost everything imaginable...and it showed in his work.
BTW, all the links are to material that hasn't been reprinted since publication in the early 1970s!
Check them out!
BONUS: Here's the printed version of the X-Men-themed cover for Marvel's FOOM #10...
...and that's why I wanted to run the original art!
The two-color (as compared to comics' usual four-color) printing really muddied up the art!

9/11 Report: the Graphic Adaptation
You'd think two of the guys who worked for decades on Casper and Richie Rich...
...couldn't produce something as...violent and visceral...as this!
Well, you'd be wrong!
Writer/editor Sid Jacobson and illustrator Ernie Colon took the 9/11 Commission's Report and made it into a must-read graphic novel!
BTW, a lot of the purple prose in the adaptation is taken verbatim from the original Report!
You can read the entire GN as an interactive presentation HERE.
