Reading Room TIME WARP "Righteous Ones"

Asm thanks to Don da Con, rumbles of nuclear war grow ever louder...

...we thought we'd take a look at a possible result of such a frightening future!

Oops!

Cue Twilight Zone theme...

Written by DC writer/editor George Kashdan (who co-created Tommy Tomorrow) and illustrated by the multi-talented Dick Giordano, this never-reprinted tale from DC's Time Warp #1 (1979) reads like it was scripted a decade earlier in the late 1960s, especially in the teen-agers' dialogue ("Like it was chain-reacted into doomsville!")!

Monday Madness FAIRY TALES "Belling the Cat" "Boy Who Cried Wolf!" "Lion and the Mouse"

A trio of never-reprinted one-pagers complete our Fairy Tales presentation...for now!

A short based on the classic folktale rendered in a very Walt Kelly-esque style from Ziff-Davis' Fairy Tales #11 (1951)!

Short but effective, this re-telling of the parable/fable, also from Fairy Tales #11, was the inside back cover feature, which is why it's b/w instead of four-color!

The inside front cover of Fairy Tales #10 (which is actually the first issue) presents an adaption of one of Aesop's Fables, not a "fairy tale", per se!

Fairy Tales will return in the first week of November.

But, beginning next Monday and running through October, we're running the never-seen-in-America Dracula humor strips from the original Spanish-language Dracula comic from 1971!

Note: the 12-issue magazine series was translated and reprinted in England, then the first 6 issues were packaged as a trade paperback by Warren (Creepy/Eerie/Vampirella) Publications!

But neither English-language version ran these one-pagers...despite the fact the strip is wordless!

Don't miss them!

Happy 80th, Batman!

Technically, last Saturday was Batman's 80th Anniversary...

...so I'm a little late with this, but, believe me, it'll be worth it!

In 1969, a little-known chapter in Batman's history occurred...specifically when Batman (The Bright Knight)...

...reverted to THE Batman (The Dark Knight)

It's only been reprinted once, and only in black-and white!

But you, dear reader, can see it in all the four-color glory 1969 newsprint can present!

Countdown to Halloween 2019 Blogathon is Coming!

We're pleased to be included in the...

...Countdown to Halloween 2019 Blogathon.

Starting October 1st, we'll be posting stuff once a week on five different RetroBlogs, so there'll be daily posts from us Monday thru Friday!

In addition, our own Monday Madness posts will be the never-seen-in-America Dracula humor strips from the original Spanish-language Dracula comic from 1971!

Note: the 12-issue magazine series was translated and reprinted in England, then the first 6 issues were packaged as a trade paperback by Warren (Creepy/Eerie/Vampirella) Publications!

But neither English-language version ran these one-pagers despite the fact the strip is wordless!

And our Friday Fun posts will be covers and pages from the never-reprinted humor magazines Monsters to Laugh With and Monster Madness, featuring scripting by the late, great Stan Lee!

We'll have links to the other blogs along with the schedule and details about each one's features...

Next Saturday!

Friday Fun SPACE MOUSE "Land of the Giants!"

While the similarly-named 1960s-70s tv series had some "juvenile" (to put it politely) stories...

...they didn't even come close to being this silly!

So, the heroic Space Mouse just wanted to go somewhere and "make out" with his girlfriend?

Creator/writer/artist Frank Carin might want to reconsider the example this tale from Avon's Peter Rabbit #30 (1955-56) set for impressionable young children of the 1950s!
