Reading Room ROCKET SHIP X "Our Atomic Future"

Remember when we thought the "day after tomorrow" would be...

...and all the world's woes could be solved with nuclear power?

If you're an older Baby Boomer, or one of the Greatest Generation, you might remember this tale from Fox's one-shot Rocket Ship X (1951) or something similar to it, since the unhindered (but safe) use of atomic power was being promoted as the ultimate solution to the world's oil/gasoline problems!

Oddly, when it was reprinted in Charlton's Mysteries of Unexplored Worlds #5 (1956), only the first page was shown!

Sadly, no records exist to identify the writer and artist (or writer/artist) of this unfulfilled prophecy.

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

We Have Already Seen...

...Scary, eh?

It's not exactly Edgar Allan Poe's "Masque of the Red Death" but an updating with some twists of its' own...

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...

America's Future?

Is this our future...

...thanks to the ineptitude of Don da Con?

Legendary artist Basil Wolverton did these illustrations for articles in a religious organization's magazine about the Book of Revelations.

They were later compiled, along with others, into a multi-volume version of the Bible which covered from Genesis to Revelations by that same organization!

Be here Tuesday as we reveal the final image in the series that was so shocking, the editors initially refused to publish it!

Wolverton Bible

(which takes the HTF 1970s multi-volume series and reprints it in a single hardcover book!)

Compiled and edited by Wolverton's son, Monte, the 304-page Bible Stories includes all of Wolverton's artwork for the Worldwide Church of God project.

Recording artist and noted EC Comics authority Grant Geissman (Tales of Terror: The E.C. Companion and Foul Play!: The Art and Artists of the Notorious 1950s E.C. Comics!) provides an insightful foreword, while Monte Wolverton delivers commentary and background in the introduction and in each section.

This volume is authorized and commissioned by the Worldwide Church of God and endorsed by the Wolverton family.

BTW, Many of the illustrations (some never previously-published) are regarded as Basil Wolverton's finest work.
