Monday (late) Madness FANTASTIC COMICS "Space Smith and the Crustaceans of Ganymede"

Since Monday was Memorial Day, we moved Space Smith to Tuesday...

...as another artist fills-in for Fletcher Hanks, bringing a Buck Rogers-esque feel to the strip!

While the scripting on this story From Fox's Fantastic Comics #7 (1940) has that Fletcher Hanks "feel", the art, definitely, is not Hanks!

It looks like the artist is trying for the same look as Dick Calkins' original Buck Rogers newspaper strip, which was incredibly-popular at the time!

The next issue would feature a totally-Fletcher Hanks tale....for the last time!

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.

Strange Suspense

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...)

Wait!
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...
