A "Lost Galaxy"?
Not The "Lost Galaxy"?
How many "Lost Galaxies" are out there?
And, is it really lost, or just misplaced? ;-)

It Was 50 Years Ago Today...
...that The Beatles released their "magnum opus", Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band!
Considered by many (myself included) to be their finest work, it left an impact on an entire generation that reverberates to this day!
Less than a year later, writer Gary Friedrich and illustrator John Verpoorten (with an assist on caricatures by Marie Severin) produced this amazingly-detailed send-up in Marvel's Not Brand Echh #12 (1969)...
Enjoy, True Believer!

Friday Fun REX DEXTER "Saves the World...Again!"
...Rex has not only rebuilt a major part of Asia, but repopulates it with Americans, since all the locals were killed by the meteor strike!
Why wait?
We'll give you that kool page, from Fox's Mystery Man Comics #8 (1940), now!
Is that kool, or what?
TRIVIA: You may notice that pages 5-8 of this tale from Fox's Mystery Man Comics #7 (1940) have larger panels, and less-detailed art than the first four pages.
Did writer-artist Dick Briefer fall behind on the deadline and do the last four pages overnight?
Did the editor reject the original last four pages...forcing Briefer to re-write/re-draw them?
We'll never know...

Reading Room MYSTERY IN SPACE "With His Head in the Stars"
In 1980 DC revived the sci-fi anthology Mystery in Space...
...which was canceled in 1966.
Despite the use of first-rate talent, including Ditko, Jim Starlin, Marshall Rogers, Dave Cockrum, Jim Aparo and others, it only ran seven issues before disappearing into the void again!
This particular tale, from #116 (1981), may demonstrate why the book failed.
It looks and feels like a 1950s-60s tale, rather than something contemporary!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder CARSON OF VENUS "Lost on Venus"
...wow!
There's a lot of screaming on Venus!
There's a lot of screaming on Venus!
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!
