Reading Room EERIE ADVENTURES "Perfect Hideout!"
It's a sci-fi tale...
...a horror story...
...a parable about how crime never pays!
...it's all these things...and more!
Illustrated by Gerald McCann, this tale from Ziff-Davis' one-shot Eerie Adventures (1951) shares a title with several other 1940s-50s tales from other publishers.
But none of the others were sci-fi, just standard "crime does not pay"-style tales...

Friday Fun MONSTERS TO LAUGH WITH "Best of #3"
What Did the Late Great Stan Lee Find Funny?
Why, taking old horror/sci-fi movie and TV show pix and adding silly word balloons to them!
And Stan wanted you, the reader to participate in the fun...
Did they publish the winners?
You'll hve to be here Next Friday to find out, True Believer!
BTW, this back cover pic is from The Man Who Laughs, starring Conrad Veidt...the visual inspiration for writer/artist Jerry Robinson's creation of The Batman's arch-enemy The Joker!

Reading Room WEIRD TALES OF THE FUTURE "Escape to Death!"
Yeah, you read that correctly.
"To Death", not "From Death".
Don't worry, this s-o-b deserves what he gets in the end...
It's a kool story with superb Basil Wolverton story and art.
But, there's one problem...the coloring.
Basil went to the trouble of doing a number of different alien races, but they're all colored the same shade of green!
(There is one panel with the various aliens colored differently, but even there, the coloring is not consistent.
Members of the same species are colored several different ways!)
Was this tale from Key's Weird Tales of the Future #2 recolored to play up the various species' differences when it was reprinted in Eclipse's Mr Monster's Super-Duper Special #8 in 1987?
When I get ahold of a copy, I'll let you know!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder WALKING DEAD "Corpse Under Glass" Part 1
NOTE: This tale is decidedly NOT SAFE FOR WORK/SCHOOL!
...a crippled alien starship crashes on Earth and it's cargo, a gas (created to revive dead aliens to continue fighting their centuries-old war) leaks into the atmosphere.
Due to differences between alien and human biology, it also revives dead humans...who are sentient, but maniacal!
The President declares martial law as local government collapses, and considers using nukes to end the problem!
Meanwhile, an isolated group of survivors under siege from sentient (and well-armed) zombies manage to escape
But one of their own is accidentally left behind, and they are not about to abandon him...
But one of their own is accidentally left behind, and they are not about to abandon him...
The Mayhem Continues...
Next Wednesday!
Created by writer/artist Jim Somerville and published by Malibu/Aircel in 1989, it was vastly-different from the 2003-present graphic novel series created by Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore.
For collectors, there's good news and bad news...
Good news: There's only a four-issue mini series and a one-shot Special to collect!
Bad news: Because it didn't sell well (and has never been reprinted), it's HTF (hard to find) and expensive!
