Wednesday Worlds of Wonder SEEKER 3000 "A New Beginning..." Conclusion

After losing their original captain, Jordan Shaw, the crew elects one of his sons, Jericho, to replace him.
The new Captain Shaw proceeds with the plan his father laid out when they left Earth 25 years earlier, searching for a new home for the survivors of mankind.
The Seeker 3000 has just warped to it's next destination, which the crew hopes will be a habitable planet!
We'll find out what the aliens from the never-reprinted Marvel's Seeker 3000 #1 (1998) want...
...but not next week, because, for the Halloween season (meaning October), Wednesday Worlds of Wonder takes a ghoulish turn going back to another future, albeit here on Earth and not so kool...the future of...The Walking Dead!
No, not that Walking Dead!
This one...
Yes, gang, we're returning to the never-reprinted original Walking Dead, from 30 years ago, over a decade before the one the TV show is based on!

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!

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...
