Wednesday Worlds of Wonder WALKING DEAD "Corpse Under Glass" Conclusion

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 goes back to rescue one of their own inadvertently left behind!
We now rejoin the President as he attends the funeral of his wife...
The Terror 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!

Reading Room MIDNIGHT "Project Final X"

Will the world end in an ecological disaster...
...or will it be something much more sinister?
Now that you've read this story from Ajax's Midnight #4 (1957), you might be asking yourself if it seems like it was a tad...disjointed, and that it didn't make much sense at a couple of points.
There's actually a good reason for thinking that.
The clues are in the cover for that issue...
Look carefully at the differences between the alien you see on the cover and the ones in the story itself.
There is a reason behind it all!

Monday Madness DRACULA Dracula One-Page Tales #4

The English-language version of the 1970s Spanish Dracula magazine didn't have any Dracula...
...because they left out these kool, wordless, one-page features from the back cover of the original Spanish editions!
Note these the first one also features Frankenstein's Monster and The Mummy!
And the second one introduces aliens into the mix!
Both England's New English Library and America's Warren Magazines (who licensed the NEL translated version) left out these entertaining pieces...despite the fact no translation was needed!
Written and illustrated by Alfonso Figueras, these one-pagers now make their American debut!
Be here every Monday in October for more kool vampire humor!

(from 1971, featuring the first six issues of the translated-from-Spanish Dracula magazine...but not these Dracula humor strips...nor any Dracula content!)

It's Time for HORROR! (Horror COMICS, that is!)


Before videogames came along, comics (and tv...and movies) were said to be the contributing factors to JUVENILE DELINQUENCY!
I say...CELEBRATE the stuff your grandparents said would warp your parents' minds!
After all, they turned out OK, didn't they?
Didn't they?
Oh, well...
What could be more appropriate for Halloween than the frightening images of Horror Comics of the 1950s on t-shirt, hoodies, mugs, and other kool kollectibles?
Are you ready to be scared? Click Now...if you dare!

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...
