Friday Fun UNCANNY TALES "Day to Remember"

This never-reprinted story from Atlas' Uncanny Tales #40 (1956) takes place on April 1st.

Why is that important?

Written by Carl Wessler and illustrated by John Severin, it's an all-but-forgotten piece of comics lore that we enjoyed hunting for, finding and presenting to you!
It's sorta our "thing"!

Reading Room FANTASTIC WORLDS "Cosmic Terror"

Some say space opera is just a Western with ray guns instead of six-shooters...

...but this never-reprinted tale from Standard's Fantastic Worlds #6 (1952) is a Cold War tale with aliens instead of Communists!

Though the scripter is unknown, the artwork is by Art Saaf, who had a long career in comics from the mid-1940s to the mid 1970s, doing everything from romance to horror to sci-fi to superheroes!

The writer and artist are officially unknown, but I see a great deal of Carmine Infantino's penciling style in a number of panels.
