SEE: the moody moonlit graveyard of the full-color Italian poster for the original Night of the Living Dead!
SEE: the kitchy graphics of the rarely-seen Astro Zombies poster (believe it or not, the film was PG)!

Friday Fun ZANY "TV or Not TV?"
With schoolrooms closed and the Internet streaming education to homebound students...
...let's see how they thought we would handle this sort of situation in 1958!
According to this somewhat prophetic feature from Candar's Zany #1 (1958), their supposition looks pretty accurate!

The Changing Face of Life on Venus...in Planet Comics!
You'd think a sci-fi magazine featuring "shared universes" would be the first place you'd see...
...a consistent presentation of the Solar System!
And you would be wrong, as this one-pager by an unknown writer and artist from Fiction House's Planet Comics #51 (1947) will demonstrate!
A couple of years earlier, in Planet Comics #34 (1945)...
...a decidedly-different Venus with different inhabitants was shown by an unknown writer and future Buck Rogers/Superman artist Murphy Anderson!
But only a few issues before that, in Planet Comics #30 (1944)...
...a text feature by an unknown writer using the Fiction House pen-name "Montague Truex PhD" and artist Fran Hopper about Venus featured another race of aquatic aliens inhabiting the cloudy planet!
This doesn't even count the various versions of Venus that appeared in Planet's ongoing strips like Gale Allen and Her Girl Squadron and Lost World!
BTW, we've previously-presented two "scientific romance" versions of Venus...
Earth Man on Venus by Ralph Milne Farley...
and Carson of Venus by Edgar Rice Burroughs!
They're kool retro fun!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder HARSH REALM "Crucible" Part 2
Detective Dexter Green, thrust into the virtual world of "Harsh Realm", has found the person he seeks, Dan Crawford...who has apparently been driven insane after acquiring almost unlimited power!
To complicate matters, one of Dex's companions, real-world person Moira, is near death...in a computer-generated universe where "death" there kills your body in the real world...
