Wednesday Worlds of Wonder CARSON OF VENUS "Lost on Venus"

...wow!
There's a lot of screaming on Venus!
Continue the Saga...
Next Wednesday!
The adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs' Lost on Venus continues under the typewriter. pencil, pen and brush of Mike Kaluta in DC's Korak: Son of Tarzan #55 (1973-74).
It's a damned good tour-de-force by the young creative, who displays a proficiency that other "hypenates" (creatives who do multiple tasks on a single project) never quite achieve!

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.

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!
