Reading Room JOURNEY INTO UNKNOWN WORLDS "Devil's Day Off!"

Here's a never-reprinted tale that's really a product of its' time...

...the 1950s, when paranoia and fear ruled the USA!

You know you're evil when Satan admires to your skillsat torture!

Written by Stan Lee and beautifully-illustrated by Joe Maneely, this story from Atlas' Journey into Unknown Worlds #22 (1953) is good clean fun (not gory, like so much of the material at the time) for the entire family!

...now that was exactly what we needed after a several-month break due to CoronaVirus!
From here on, it's nonstop Harsh Realm RPG action to the end of the series...

Is he an obvious ally...or secret enemy?
Be Here Next Wednesday!

Please note: Harris' Harsh Realm #3 (1994) was published over 25 years ago, when online gaming, virtual reality, and many technical aspects of the story were vastly-different than they are today.

Younger readers, in particular, might find things a little...weird, but at the time, they were considered visionary!

The legendary Jack Kirby did a combination superhero amusement park/virtual reality plotline even earlier in Marvel's 2001: a Space Odyssey #5 (1977)!

Like Harsh Realm's creators, he got some elements amazingly-correct...and some parts startlingly-wrong!

But give him credit, it was far more correct than incorrect!

Reading Room DRACULA "Story of the Stars"

A surreal 1970s sci-fi tale in a magazine called "Dracula"?

BTW, despite the magazine being called "Dracula", the legendary vampire only appears in one-page humor strips on the back cover!

The tale, written and illustrated by Jose M Bea was originally published in England in Dracula #11 (1972), a partworks magazine* by New English Library.

Some of the stories from this project made their American debut in Warren Publishing's HTF Dracula TPB in 1972 which reprinted #1-#6 of the British Dracula's run.
The remaining tales from #7-#12 (including this one) have never been published in the US.
*Partworks magazines are a limited series issued weekly, fortnightly, or monthly.
They usually run 12-24 issues for each volume.
When the final issue in a volume is published, the publishers offer a wraparound cover to make the complete set into a hardbound book. 
The buyer is offered the option to bind the magazines themselves or send the set to the publisher who professionally-binds the mags and sends the bound volume back to the customer.
This concept is extremely popular in Europe, but has never caught on in America, despite numerous attempts.

CoronaVirus Comics / Monday Madness GRIMM TALES OF TERROR "Red World" Part 1

With Covid-19 spreading after people failed to follow procedures during America's reopening...

...on Memorial Day Weekend, it's time for another tale (based on an Edgar Allan Poe classic) of malaise and mayhem...this time set in a post-apocalyptic future!

Be Back Next Monday to See What Happens...

Plotted by Joe Brusha and Ralph Tedesco, scripted by Shane McKenzie, and illustrated by Antonio Bifilco, this take on Poe's "Masque of the Red Death" from Zenescope's Grimm Tales of Terror #4 (2014) is one of the wilder "re-interpretations" of the legendary horror tale.

But then, that's the sort of thing they do so well...
