Wednesday Worlds of Wonder SEEKER 3000 "HumanKind" Part 1

We Have Already Seen...

...I love these synopsis pages!
They present both the series' concept and the action from the previous issue!

As numerous episodes of various Star Trek series and this never-reprinted chapter from Marvel's Seeker 3000 #3 (1998) show, seizing a human starship is one thing.
Keeping it when facing a motivated crew is quite another matter!
As you might have guessed...
To Be Continued
Next Wednesday!

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: the Secret Saga!

You only think you know the story...
...but the truth is far different!
Yeah, you know the 1940s song and you've seen the 1960s animated TV special every Christmas for as long as you can remember.
But, it's not the original tale of the guy with the glowing nose!
Starting next Tuesday , we're re-presenting a special treat...the rarely-seen prose tale that inspired both the song and stop-motion tv special.
Here's a vintage 1940s cartoon by Max Fleischer that's somewhat closer to the "classic" version...
And be here next Tuesday for the actual illustrated prose tale!
