Reading Room WORLD OF FANTASY "It Stands in the Snow"

We've presented abominable snowman stories before...

...but none that ends like this one!

We guarantee it!

OK, did you follow the surprise ending?

Admittedly, it's a little difficult due to the final panel being drawn sideways.

Let's run the final panel the way it should be shown...

Now that works!

Was this never-reprinted tale from Atlas' World of Fantasy #2 (1956) a four-pager that was re-worked into three pages?

Only artist (and Atlas/Marvel production whiz) Sol Brodsky and the unknown writer knew...

Reading Room TIME WARP "Man Who Could See Yesterday!"

You'd think "everybody can see yesterday! It's the guy who can see tomorrow who's unique!"

Not in this tale, dear reader!

This tale from DC's Time Warp #1 (1979) was written by Paul Levitz, illustrated and lettered by Jim Aparo.
Using both established pros and talented newcomers, Time Warp, an oversized anthology (68 pages for $1 when the standard comic was 36 pages for 40¢) presented all-new material, almost all of which (including this story) has never been reprinted!

Mike Kaluta, definitive artist for the comic version of The Shadow, provided pulp-style covers for the entire run.

While they had no relation to any of the stories in the book, they were spectacular!
The series lasted only five issues.

The remaining unused stories appeared in the horror/fantasy anthology The Unexpected with a "Time Warp" logo on the splash page.

Monday Madness MYSTERIES OF UNEXPLORED WORLDS "World Where I was King!"

We could call this "The Challenge that Made a Man Out of Bill Jones..."

...since it's a plotline out of the Charles Atlas ads that used to appear on the back covers of comic books, but with a fantasy twist!

This tale of alpha males on other worlds from Charlton's Mysteries of Unexplored Worlds #3 (1957) was illustrated by the legendary Steve Ditko and an unknown writer (who could be Ditko himself or Joe Gill)!
