Wednesday Worlds of Wonder SPACE CLUSTERS Part 1

In the mid-1980s, DC published a line of graphic novels...
...that featured original tales created for the series!
Written by sci-fi novelist Arthur Byron Cover and illustrated by Alex Nino, this never-reprinted tome from 1986 was the seventh and final magazine-size graphic novel DC published before abandoning the concept due to low sales.

Reading Room SPACE ADVENTURES "It's a Small World"

Behind this kool Jim Aparo cover...
...is an equally-kool Steve Ditko-illustrated tale!
BTW, neither has seen the light of day since their intitial publication in Charlton's Space Adventures V2N8 (1969).
Now that's a weird, out-of-left field, ending in a wild tale probably written by Charlton mainstay Joe Gill.
BONUS: the original art for the cover...

Monday Mars Madness STORY OF OTHER WORLDS "Amazon of Barsoom"

Concluding our re-telling of long-unseen Barsoom (Edgar Rice Burroughs' Mars) stories...
...here's the final never-reprinted Barsoom tale that ran in DC Comics' Tarzan Family in 1976!
This story from DC's Tarzan Family #60 (1975) was written by Robert Kanigher and illustrated by Noly Zamora.
The Heliumites in this tale are blue-skinned, not red (as in all other Barsoom stories), and these red "demon apes" who carry spears and talk have never appeared in any other Barsoom tale!
As we mentioned earlier, this story and the Secret Diaries of John Carter mini-series have never been reprinted since their publication in 1976, even in the recent Dark Horse trade paperback that presented all the other Barsoom-based stories that appeared in DC Comics!
(It's rumored that dissatisfaction with them was the reason ERB Inc pulled the license from DC!)
Next Week:
It's Christmas...on Mars!

Remember how, after Thanksgiving, you'd look forward to getting those envelopes with colorful Yuletide cards, usually with lots of handwritten news and in-jokes?
Remember the warmth with loved ones you'd feel from those?
Remember how you'd create displays on the mantlepiece or stairs with the koolest of those cards?
Well, more than ever, it's time to bring back that warm-and-fuzzy feeling!
And we have just the cards to do it...

Plus, if you want some really wild variations...
All are exclusive designs not available anywhere else!
All are available as singles for $4.99, 10-packs for $19.99 ($1.99 per card), and 20-packs for $29.99 ($1.49 per card).

Talk about a Christmas miracle!
Order now, so you'll be able to send them out on time!
