Monday (Late) Madness FANTASTIC COMICS "Space Smith vs Iago of Pluto"

Though it may look like it...
...this is not the pencil work of Jack (King) Kirby!
The GCD says the inking for this story from Fox's Fantastic Comics #10 (1940) is by Kirby!
I believe the penciling is his partner, Joe Simon, reworking Kirby's opening panel from Fox's Science Comics #4 for the new opener...
...and then writing/penciling the rest of the story!

Reading Room ALIEN ENCOUNTERS "Outcast"

What makes you different, even unique, from others?
Sometimes it's not what you think!
The highly-underrated Marc Hempel wrote and illustrated this simple, but effective (and never-reprinted) short from Eclipse's Alien Encounters #1 (1985)!

Friday Fun REX DEXTER OF MARS "The Day Rex Dexter Failed to Save the Earth!"

Looks like a typical day in the life of our favorite interplanetary adventurer...
...but that's certainly not the case this time!
Note: this tale was scanned from microfiche, so the quality is less than ideal, but it's all we have to work with!

To be fair, Rex's ego isn't so fragile that he's ashamed that Cynde had to rescue him in this never-reprinted tale from Fox's Mystery Men Comics #8 (1940), making him one of the more enlghtened heroes of the Golden Age!
