Make Sure It ISN'T a CoronaVirus Christmas at Your Festive Celebration!

Though Covid might limit our usual Yuletide festivities, we should be prepared...

...if we can celebrate with family and friends by using festive face masks like these
...or, if you're feeling grumpy, some
...or, last (but not least),

Each double-layer mask is reusable, washable, and built for comfort.
Every one-size-fits-all adult or kid mask features a pocket for optional filter use...and comes with two free carbon filters!
PLUS: these are exclusive designs, not available anywhere else or line-or in Brick-and-mortar stores!
(Even Amazon doesn't have them!)

Space Force Saturdays INTERPLANETARY POLICE "Mirror of Doom" Conclusion

Yes, I know we've used this art before, but it's the only time the InterPlanetary Police appeared on the cover!
Tanya, the Space Siren, constructed a giant mirror on the surface of a small planetoid.
With it, she focused the Sun's rays at the frozen planet Simia in order to melt it's icy coating and then mine the previously-unreachable platinum beneath it's surface.
However, without the solar radiation she diverted, Earth is now freezing!
Needless to say, the InterPlanetary Police tracked down the source of the solar energy drain and landed on the tiny planetoid...
It's 68 years later, and we're still looking (she was one hot babe)...
This final high-adventure story from Buster Brown Comic Book #32 (1953) was written by Hobart Donovan, penciled by Reed Crandall, and inked by Ray Wilner.
The book continued for another eleven issues, ending in late 1956.

Friday Fun KOOKIE "Bongo & Bop...Cats in the Attic"

Before Slackers!
Before Hipsters!
Before even Hippies!
There were Beatniks!
Here's a tale about a pair of them that could easily be updated and re-told today!
This never-reprinted story from Dell's Kookie #2 (1962) by writer John Stanley and artist Bill Williams was part of an attempt to produce an on-going series featuring young adults in a (then) contemporary setting.
Bongo and Bop were the slackers of the ensemble, like Dobie Gillis' Maynard G Krebs amped up to 11!
Sadly the title only lasted two issues...which you'll be seeing here in the weeks to come!

Reading Room MARVEL PREVIEW "Man-Gods From Beyond the Stars" Conclusion

British edition cover
In the far-distant past...
...technologically-advanced aliens visit the Earth on a mission of exploration.
Their mandate is to observe, but not interfere.
In the present (1975)...
...scientists discover ancient cave paintings that tell of god-like beings who came down among the primitive humans.
But, the paintings don't tell the whole story, for the aliens are far more human than even they suspect!
Are we, in fact, "Children of the Gods"?
This tale, written by Doug Moench, illustrated by Alex Nino was likely a "pilot" for an ongoing series, but, Jack Kirby's return to Marvel with his similarly-themed Eternals, this ended up dooming this to being merely an all-but-forgotten one-shot!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder ROCKET TO THE MOON Part 2

...well, now you know the source material for the comic!
(And isn't that a kool Frank Frazetta cover?)
Brilliant young scientist Ted Dustin sends an unmanned test rocket to the Moon, and the inhabitants of the satellite, believing it to be an attack, respond with missiles of their own.
Despite being able to make video contact with the Moon people, the language barrier proves insurmountable and the bombardment of Earth continues.
In desperation, Dustin launches himself in an experimental rocket to the Moon...
Note: May be NSFW due to racial stereotypes common to eras of both the original novel and the comic.
What does Ted encounter?
Be here next Wednesday and find out!
This 1951 one-shot comic from Avon Comics was scripted by Walter (The Shadow) Gibson and illustrated by Joe Orlando and Wally Wood.
