Before Trump's Space Force... PERIMETER PATROL SERVICE "Mission to Malooka"

For our final Perimeter Patrol Service tale...
...we present their first story!
This never-reprinted story from Ziff-Davis' Amazing Adventures #5 (1952) is a superb example of pulp/comic space opera of the era with all the classic elements:
Square-jawed heroes.
Rockets & ray-guns.
Literal bug-eyed monsters!
No scantly-clad women, but the other Perimneter Patrol Service sagas have them.
BTW, this premiere is illustrated by Murphy Anderson, who had just finished his first run on the Buck Rogers newspaper strip.
He would later specialize doing sci-fi/fantasy at DC Comics, including Hawkman, Adam Strange, and Superman!
Note: as of this week, we're re-making Saturdays into "Space Force Saturday", re-presenting tales of various military and law-enforcement organizations, most of them never-reprinted!
Don't miss them!

Monday Madness VIDEO JACK "Pilot Error" Conclusion

...it's the 1980s and Jack, the ultimate pop-culture nerd, is about to interact with tv in a way he never expected...










Before that, we want to let you know that we'd be happy to continue the funky adventures of Video Jack--if you tell us you want it!
So let us know by Saturday night, because we'll be preparing the next installment of Monday Madness on Sunday!
Update: If you came here earlier, you may have noticed there wasn't a link to the previous chapter, nor a synopsis.
That's because Blogger's altering of the creation interface caused serious glitches, and after almost two hours, I finally got the images uploaded and clicked "post" not realizing I still hadn't done those items!
My bad.😡
Plotted and penciled by Keith Giffen, scripted by Cary Bates, and inked by Dave Hunt, the never-reprinted Epic's Video Jack #1 (1987) is truly a product of its' time!
Note that, unlike today, pop-culture aficionados were scorned as geeks and nerds (What a great name for a movie or tv series!) and considered social outcasts!

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 art's by Carl (Human Torch) Burgos, who shows an amazing knack for humor!
Zany, one of dozens of MAD magazine imitators, lasted only four (never reprinted) issues.
But within those few pages lurked a number of top-notch Golden and Silver Age artists, including Burgos, Paul Reinman, Don Orehek, Joe Sinnott, Stan Goldberg, Dick Briefer, Pete Costanza, John Forte, and Bill Everett (who painted all four issues' covers)!
