Space Force Saturdays SPACE WORLDS "Vengance of X-1"
One of the kool things about sci-fi comics is that, until the late 1970s...
...they visualized concepts, environments, technology, and situations no then-existing SFX technology could convincingly-show to an audience!
No TV show of the era, and few feature films (perhaps War of the Worlds or Forbidden Planet) could possibly have mustered the SFX technology to even approach this sort of thing, which today could be done by a high-budget TV show or mid-budget feature film.

Friday Food Fun "Man's Guide to Outdoor Cooking" Finale
...now it's time to conclude this graphic primer (with a kool, kitschy wraparound cover) about cooking outside with fire!
Sadly, Mayrose Meats (a Midwestern staple for decades) no longer exists.
Its' parent company, St Louis Independent Packing, was bought out by Swift & Company in the early 1960s and the Mayrose brand was discontinued.

Reading Room BLAZE BARTON "and the Bat Men of Venus"
The World of the Future ain't exactly a fun place...
...but will the Venusians be friends...or foes?
Oddly, Earth seems to have moved backwards in time since the previous story was set in 50,017, not 3000!
The writer of this tale from Quality's Hit Comics #2 (1940) is unknown (and may not even be the first story's scripter), but the artist was Henry Kiefer, a craftsman with over 400 comics stories and covers from 1935 to 1954 including numerous Classics Illustrated adaptations.

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder LOST WORLD "Food for Freedom!"
There's been a running sub-plot involving Volta schoolchildren...
...witnessing their soldiers battling Hunt Bowman, Lyssa, and other humans both on video, and even in person...with mixed results...causing some ofthe kids to doubt the righteousness of their planet's invasion of Earth!
Well, this certainly didn't have the effect the Volta government hoped it would have on their children!
The parallel to World War II's Axis countries' attempts to indoctrinate their youth to their point of view is obvious.
