Trump Reading Room BABE "and the Chicago Crushers Football Team..." Part 1

Since Don the Con's deplorables seem unfamiliar with football...

...let's see how they perceive the game is played!

This never-reprinted, intellectually-stimulating adventure from Prize's Babe #4 (1948-49) continues...TOMORROW!

One of writer/artist Boody Rogers' wildest creations, Babe: the Darling of the Hills, was another hillbilly series "inspired" by the phenomenal success of Al Capp's Li'l Abner!

Babe Boone derived her abilities from "lightning juice" which was fermented from the bark of trees struck by lightning!

The series ran 11 issues.

When it and Rogers' other series, Sparky Watts, were cancelled, Boody retired from commercial art and comics, opening a pair of art supply stores!

Reading Room SPACE SQUADRON "World of No Return"

Buckle up your jetpacks...

...as we hurtle back to the year 2000 (as seen from the year 1951!)...

This never-reprinted tale from Atlas' Space Squadron #2 (1951) is typical of the early 1950s, when sci-fi was dominiated by various military and police organizations patrolling and controlling the universe, much as America was patrolling and controlling the non-Commie-controlled parts of Earth.
As in many ongoing series (no matter what the genre), the evil progeny (Edgar Revere) of a great man (Blast Revere) was never revealed as the schemer behind most of their problems!

Neither the writer nor artist are known.
See the other Captain Jet Dixon of the Space Squadron tales we've presented HERE!
And keep watching, as we finish our re-presentation of this time-lost series before the end of the year!

Reading Room EVERY DAY IS A HOLLY DAY "Columbus Day"

It used to be October 12th...

...but now it's the second Monday in October, to allow people a three-day holiday!

Interestingly, this page from Brevity Inc's one-shot giveaway Every Day is a Holly Day (1956) acknowledges Christopher Columbus didn't discover America, a rarity in that era!

Why is this comic entitled "Every Day is a Holly Day" instead of "Every Day is a Holiday"?

Because it was given away to kids by grocers who sold Holly Sugar!

Illustrated by John Rosenberger, it's a unique pamphlet covering a number of American holidays, including both Lincoln and Washington's Birthdays (before they were combined into "Presidents' Day"), Mothers' Day (though not Fathers' Day), Flag Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and a couple of holidays we've largely abandoned...Pan-American Day and American Indian Day!

We'll be presenting the other chapters on the dates they fall upon.

Watch for them!

Reading Room 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY "New Seed" Conclusion

When Last We Left Our Beyond-Human Protaganist...

...once known as Gordon Pruett, he had been transformed by a Monolith into a "New Seed" who now wanders time and space the way you and I wander local streets...

The remaining three issues after this introduced X-51 aka "Mister Machine", renamed "Machine Man", and now an integral part of the mainstream Marvel Universe.

You can read them HERE, HERE, and HERE, and unless you have the actual issues of 2001 in your comics collection, this blog is the only place I know of where you can do so!

Though Marvel has reprinted the later ongoing Machine Man series, it can't reprint the three issues of 2001 introducing the character, nor can it reference the Monolith's participation in the character's origin due to licensing issues!

NOTE: This wasn't the first series set in the 2001: a Space Odyssey universe!

In 1971, Polystyle's comic weekly Countdown introduced an ongoing two-page strip set sometime after 2001...

It was much more in the Dan Dare/Buck Rogers action/adventure vein than the movie.
