Reading Room SPACE ACTION "Prisoners on Solar"

Solar power is cheap and easy to access, right?

At least until someone takes control of the Sun (or a reasonable facsimile thereof)!

Considering that, even in the 1950s, we knew the Sun wouldn't die out for billions of years, you have to wonder when this story from Ace's Space Action #1 (1952) is set!

Apparently the unknown writer didn't know or didn't care, since no date is given.

But the art by Lou Cameron and Rocco Mastroserio shows technology only a couple of hundred of years ahead!

Go figure...

Friday Fun JUMPIN' JUPITER "In Space No One Can Hear You Laugh"

If you thought Jumpin' Jupiter's first story was weird...

..his third appearance from Weird Tales of the Future #4 (1953) is gonna make you plotz!

Whether it's his ongoing SpaceHawk strip or any of the numerous one-shot tales he did, Wolverton's Golden Age output was always instantly-recognizable!

This humor strip ran in #2 thru #5 of Key Publications' Weird Tales of the Future, along with several sci-fi/horror stories also written and illustrated by the amazing Basil!
