Trump Reading Room TALES CALCULATED TO DRIVE YOU BATS "Monster Crisis"

It's fascinating how this story from 1962 can relate to present-day America...
...as the Idiot in the White House creates similar economic problems in real-life!
George Gladir wrote and Orlando Busino illustrated this tale from Archie's Tales Calculated to Drive You BATS V1N2 (1962) in an era when excessive tariffs and other such protectionist claptrap had been minimized after learning the hard way they didn't work!
Unfortunately, it seems we're destined to learn that lesson again...the hard way!

Yes, that's supposed to be Frank Miller and Chris Claremont praising Sidney Mellon; intellectual!

Reading Room ALARMING TALES "Hero"

Here's a short (in more ways than one) space-opera tale...
...though you won't get the pun until the end...
This story of size and space travel from Harvey's Alarming Tales #2 (1957) was produced by writer Jack Oleck, and illustrator Marvin Stein (with what appears to be uncredited layout help by Jack Kirby).

Monday Madness FANTASTIC COMICS "Space Smith and the Sinister Saturnians"

The round-robin of writers and artists on this series continues...
...with more unknown creatives taking a crack at the interplanetary hero!
This tale from Fox's Fantastic Comics #11 (1940) has never been reprinted.
Pity, because it's a prime example of "compressed storytelling" that, if done today, would be a 20-page book-lengther...if not a two-parter!

Reading Room STAR*REACH "A Nice Place to Live, But..."

...now a New Yorker visits the Left Coast...
Frank Brunner's counterpoint to Linda Fite's piece in Big Apple Comics (1975) was probably meant to appear in that book, either side-by-side or back-to-back.
It's likely he missed the deadline due to his heavy workload at Marvel!
Brunner's piece finally appeared (for the first and only time) in Star*Reach #5 (1976).
We're happy to present them together, as they were meant to be...
