Reading Room STRANGE WORLDS "Space Gods of Planetoid 50!"

What if Chariots of the Gods? took place on another planet?
And Earthmen were the aliens thought to be "gods"?
Quite a different take on the same theme from Marvel's Man-Gods from Beyond the Stars, eh?
This look at the future from Avon's Strange Worlds #7 (1952) was illustrated by artistic mainstay Gene Fawcette, but the writer is unknown.
BTW, the tale was retold...with the same dialogue and captions...but totally-new artwork...in 1971!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder SEEKER 3000 "Medusae" Part 1

...if you think that, after a month posting zombies, I'm gonna remember where we left off, you're outta your mind!
Luckily, the comic itself provides a recap...
...all caught up?
Then let's jump back into the action...
That's a reasonable assessment, Carter.
But is it accurate?
Come back next Wednesday to find out!

Reading Room WEIRD TALES OF THE FUTURE "Time Has Come"

..we thought we'd present a sci-fi comic starring Alan Moore (not written by him)...and he's not that Alan Moore, since this story from Key's Weird Tales of the Future #1 (1952) predates the award-winning writer's birth by a year!
On a similar (if somewhat silly) note, you can see TV's Green Hornet battle Frank Miller HERE!
Ironically, the writer of this story is unknown, but the artist is John Bulthuis, whose credited work appeared in MLJ/Archie and Key Comics titles, but his style looks similar to quite a number of unidentified stories I've seen.

Monday Madness CRAZY "Drag-ula!"

No, it's not a tale of a transvestite Transylvanian...
...(that's Rocky Horror Picture Show) but our final Dracula tale is a humorous look at the original "bat man" from Atlas' CRAZY #2 (1954)
As was usual with the lead tale in Atlas' CRAZY, this tale was lovingly-rendered by the amazing Bill Everett!
Heck, Bill might even have written it, since he had a number of scripting credits already!
