Maza of the Moon

by Otis Aldelbert Kline

Reading Room WORLD OF MYSTERY "Night I Lost My Body!"

Some people lose their minds!

This guy will tell you about something even worse...

...in a never-reprinted tale from Atlas' World of Mystery #7 (1957)!

Illustrated by longtime Simon & Kirby Studio artist Marvin Stein, the story seems to have a very Jack Kirby "feel" to the panel structures and character poses.

Could Kirby have helped out by doing uncredited layouts?

We'll never know...

Monday Mars Madness JOHN CARTER OF MARS "Death has Three Heads"

Continuing the Secret Diaries of John Carter...

...her's the second chapter of the never-reprinted "Secret Diaries" mini-series that ran in DC Comics' Tarzan Family in 1976!

The Adventure Concludes...Next Monday!

Of course, it goes without saying that since these are the "secret diaries" of John Carter, that he must have survived in order to write them...

This all-new tale from DC's Tarzan Family #63 (1976) was written by Bob Kanigher, penciled by Noly Zamora and inked by Vic Catan..with several panels redrawn by editor (and comics legend) Joe Kubert!

As we mentioned earlier, this mini-series has never been reprinted since it's publication in 1976, even in the Dark Horse trade paperback that presented all the other John Carter stories that appeared in Tarzan and Weird Worlds!

Space Force Saturdays INTERPLANETARY POLICE "Mirror of Doom" Conclusion

When Last We Left Our Heroes...

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.
