Tales Twice Told STRANGE GALAXY "Planet of Horror"

Well, here it is again, right down to the original captions, dialogue balloons and character names!
Eerie Publications editor Carl Burgos thought the story from Fiction House's Planet Stories #72 (1953) was good enough to have Argentinian artist Oswal re-draw it almost 20 years later for the b/w magazine Strange Galaxy V1N8 (1971)!
(In fact, all the stories that appeared in the Eerie Publications line-up were either actual reprints or re-drawn versions of 1940s-1950s tales from defunct publishers!)

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder ADVENTURES OF THE DOVER BOYS Chapter 6 "Treasure Trove"

Don't wait!
Here it is!
The Big Finale!
(One codicil: may be NSFW due to racial stereotypes common to the era [1950].)
Apparently very few people sent postcards because the Dover Boys never reappeared anywhere else.
And I do mean NEVER!
In 2011, Archie and Friends #137-138 and #150 featured a storyline involving almost all the "forgotten" characters from MLJ/Archie's long publishing history from Suzie to Sam Hill: Detective to Super Duck crossing dimensions to Riverdale to encounter Archie and the gang...except the Dover Boys!
Sad, ain't it?
Next Wednesday...
Join Us as We Journey to a New World of Wonder!

Tales Twice Told PLANET COMICS "Last Expedition"

In space, things are not always as they seem...
...as this story of the rescue of personnel from a science research colony aptly demonstrates!
This tale from Fiction House's Planet Comics #72 (1953) was illustrated by Bill Benulis, but the writer is unknown.
That's a pity, because Eerie Publications editor Carl Burgos thought the story was good enough to re-do almost 20 years later...as we'll see on Thursday!

Monday Maternity Madness CHOICES "Burning Issue"

The ruling made by the Supreme Court repealing Roe V Wade last week seems inevitable...
...when you are dealing with people who believe America should be like this!

Nope, this isn't America...yet!
But we're sure as Hell headed there as our own conservative religious fundamentalists start dominating the government!
From Isis Press' Choices: a Pro-Choice Benefit Comic for the Anthology National Organization for Women, produced to raise money after the Supreme Court ruling of Webster V Reproductive Health Services (1989) began the re-imposition of limits to the rights of women over their own bodies!
There will be more in the coming weeks!
