Reading Room SPACE ADVENTURES "Homecoming.."
Space, the final frontier...
...where being a pioneer sometimes means "first to go, last to arrive", as seen in this tale from Charlton's Space Adventures #10 (1954)!
The art is by future Amazing Spider-Man
co-creator Steve Ditko, during one of the busiest times of his career
(1954-55) as he penciled (and inked) almost 100 stories (plus covers) in
little over a year!
Unfortunately, the writer of the story is unknown.

Wonder Woman vs Supergirl...50 Years Ago!
The current issue of Wonder Woman features a battle between...
...the Amazing Amazon and a possessed Maid of Might!
But it ain't the first time the two duked it out!
We thought this would be a good time to re-present their first battle royale, which has never been reprinted in color since its' initial publication in 1968 (50 years ago)!
Enjoy this chapter of Silver Age comics history!

Friday Fun REX DEXTER "Invasion of the Protoplasmen"
Exiled from Earth, Rex Dexter heads home to Mars...
...not yet aware of what's transpiring on the third rock from the sun.
(BTW, note the amazingly-casual racism in the very next panel...)
Rex was kicked off Earth only a couple of months ago (as shown HERE)!
Now, in Fox's Mystery Men Comics #6 (1940), without so much as a "Sorry about that!" or "Our bad!", Earth expects him to drop everything and save its' collective butt AGAIN?
But, that's exactly what he does!
And now, they want him to stay?
I'd ask for that in writing...and notarized.
But that's just me...

Reading Room SOJOURN "Kingdom of the Maggot: Hunters & Bagged Prey"
In the late 1970s, during the birth of the Direct Market and comic book stores...
...several publishers experemented with formats for Direct Sales Only periodicals.
One of them was Joe Kubert's White Cliffs Publishing, which produced Sojourn, a tabloid-sized anthology of two and three-page ongoing features by established pros like Kubert himself, Doug Wildey, Dick Giordano, Sergio Aragonés and John Severin along with newbies like Steve Bissette, who devoted his two pages per issue to a single-panel spread called Kingdom of the Maggot.
The first one included this descriptive paragraph...
The spread in #2, "Bagged Prey" didn't have a description!
Sadly, there wasn't a third issue.
Trivia: The co-publisher of the project was Ivan Snyder, who created/operated the mail-order business and comic distributor Superhero Enterprises/Heroes World, whose ads and catalogs were produced by Kubert and his school's students!
None of the strips or features in Sojourn (including Kubert's new Tor stories have ever been reprinted, except John Severin's Western strip The Eagle (in Warren's The Rook) which also ran the strips planned for the never-published Sojourn #3 and #4!
