Reading Room WORLD OF FANTASY "Brain Destroyer!"

This title reminded me of Donald Trump...
...even though the story itself has nothing to connect it to the Republicans' hilarious President but the title!
No matter whether you agree for my reason for running the story, it's still a long-lost, never-reprinted tale from Atlas' World of Fantasy #19 (1959) you probably would never have seen otherwise.
Plotted by Stan Lee, written by Larry Lieber, and illustrated by Carl Burgos, it's typical of the sort of stuff Atlas was running as it transitioned into what we would know as Marvel only a couple of years later.

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder HARSH REALM "Crucible" Conclusion

When Last We Left Our Cyber-Protagonists...

,,,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!
Now, Dan has sent his personal "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" to intercept Dexter and his allies...



And it is here our re-telling comes to an end.
Due to lack of audience response, we're cancelling Harsh Realm.
Next Week, Hunt Bowman and the Lost World return for an extended run.
If you want to see how Harsh Realm turns out, you'll have to see below...

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!
