Monday Madness FANTASTIC COMICS "Space Smith and the Interplanetary Outlaws"

The past few weeks' Space Smith strips were based on gangster movie plots!

This week's space opera is based on cinematic horse operas (Westerns)!

Substitute "gold/silver mine map" for "hidden planet location map", six-shooters for ray guns, and wagon/stagecoach for spaceship, and the transposition in this never-reprinted tale from Fox's Fantastic Comics #19 (1941) is obvious!

Reading Room ATOM-AGE COMBAT "Hungry Moss"

Here's a story from the 1950s that might've inspired the cult flick The Green Slime!

This tale from the fifth (and final) issue of the 1952-53 comic book Atom-Age Combat is one of only three stories in the entire series with actual sci-fi or alien elements!
Most of the tales were of the World War III / Atomic War type showing a long-feared "US vs the Russian and/or Chinese Commies" war using advanced technology and limited nuclear weaponry.

While the writer is unknown, the art is by longtime war comics artist Dick Ayers, best-known for Sgt Fury and His Howling Commandos.

Did You Miss Last Week's Chapters of the Story DC Comics REFUSES to Publish...MONSTER SOCIETY OF EVIL?

x

Since we believe the story has historical significance, and the racism (which we abhor) is part of the tale, RetroBlogs dropped the plans we had for various summer mini-blogathons to re-present the entire, unexpurgated story scanned from the original issues of Fawcett's Captain Marvel Adventures at Hero Histories and Not Safe For Work Comics!

Chapter VI: Mr Mind on Earth

Chapter VII: the Lost Sunset

Chapter VIII: Battle at the China Wall

Chapter IX: the Webs of Destruction

Chapter X: the Booby Traps of Mr Mind

Enjoy, and keep up with the saga Monday through Friday!

Friday Fun REX DEXTER OF MARS "Cranian Conquest of Earth"

Another Friday, another chapter about Rex Dexter almost reaching Mars...

...another chapter of Rex Dexter saving Earth again!

What is it with this guy?

For God's sake, go home to Mars already!

Let Earth fend for itself for once!

Well, you have to give Dick Briefer creadit for being able to do variations on a theme in this never-reprinted tale from Fox's Mystery Men Comics #17 (1940)!

The Cranians are the weirdest humanoid-type aliens I've seen in awhile, even if their design isn't very practical!

Reading Room Redux ALIEN ENCOUNTERS "Outpost"

Because the printed copy of the story we presented a couple of days ago was so poor...

...we decided to re-present the never-reprinted tale using the original art!

Now that's a lot better, eh?

Note the art boards for pages 2 and 3 are from DC Comics.

The light blue (Cyan) guidelines were invisible to the film the printer used to create the negatives used for creating the printing plates!

However, in this case, the printer apparently over-exposed the film, causing a lot of the fine-line inking to be lost in the printed book!
