Wednesday Worlds of Wonder LOST WORLD "Who Was I? Who Am I? Who Will I Be?"

When Last We saw Hunt, Lyssa and their new Scooby Gang...

...one of the three humans, Bruce, recently revived from suspended animation was shot.

With no other options, his still-functioning brain was transplanted into a captive VoltaMan by fellow resurrectee (and surgeon) Robin...

Isn't it handy that the alien body Bruce's brain is transferred into is not only compatable with his brain's biology, but just happens to be the son of the VoltaMen's ruler?
Do the VoltaMen look so similar that only an item like a ring or uniform insignia defines them?
And, what happens now that "Bruce/Guth" has shot his own body's father?

This never-reprinted tale from Fiction House's Planet Comics #38 (1945) takes the now-ongoing storyline in an unexpected direction,,,which may lead to unplanned consequences for the team!

Trump Reading Room WEIRD TALES OF THE FUTURE "City of Primitive Man!"

This never-reprinted story is a Trumpster's sci-fi wet-dream...

...where it appears the geeks have inherited the Earth, and only the jocks can save civilization!

As this odd tale from Key's Weird Tales of the Future #2 (1952) shows, only extremely-manly men can keep civilization from being over-run when danger threatens.

The art is by Ed Smalle, a little-known, but prolific Golden Age artist producing almost 500 stories and covers starting in 1940 and ending in 1957, when he died.

Note: He might have scripted it as well, since he did that on occasion...

Monday Madness JETTA OF THE 21st CENTURY "Pardon My Power!"

It's January, 2021, so it's the season for FOOTBALL!

...or football as shown in the "future" (our present), as presented in 1952...69 years ago!

If the art style of this tale from Standard's Jetta of the 21st Century #6 (1953) looks familiar, it's the work of Dan DeCarlo, who helped establish the iconic "look" of Archie Comics!

Dan actually started at Atlas Comics (the 1940s-50s predecessor to Marvel Comics) doing a variety of humor strips before beginning a long-term run on various Archie titles in 1951.

Even then, he continued to work for a number of other publishers, including Standard Comics, who asked him to create, write, and illustrate a teen-humor series.

(Every publisher had at least one of them!) 

Exactly whose idea it was to set it in the "far future" of the 21st Century is unknown, but the resultant strip, though extremely derivative of Archie, was unique in the teen-humor genre for it's Jetsons-style setting and "futuristic" slang.

Space Force Saturdays SPEED CARTER "Who Stole the Sun?"

If you think it's cold now, read about what happens...

...when the sun is hijacked in this never-reprinted tale from Atlas' Speed Carter: SpaceMan #2 (1953)!

A "Giant Gravity Magnet" that looks like a big horseshoe magnet?

And, if you destroy the magnet which was towing the Sun (without at least turning it around to head back where it came from), the Sun will continue, unabated, in whatever direction it was going!

With all due respect, Hank and Joe, this was not your finest hour.

The series continues to play up the Saturnians as the future equivalent of the Chinese Communists of the 1950s

Written (as are all the Speed Carter stories) by Hank Chapman and illustrated by Joe Maneely.
