Space Hero Saturdays FLASH GORDON "Even Legends May Die"
I'm a fan of literally everything relating to Flash Gordon...
...and this never-reprinted short from the HTF fanzine Heritage (1971) is one of the best Flash stories ever!
You can tell writer/artist Estaban Maroto is a serious Alex Raymond fan, right?

Friday Fun THIRTEEN GOING ON EIGHTEEN "Hey Val, It's MY Turn!"
It's a hot Friday and my iMac is glitching and needs a clean-up...
...so this short and sweet beach-themed cover gag from Dell's Thirteen Going on Eighteen #7 (1963), scripted and rendered by the legendary John Stanley is all I can manage this morning!

Tales Twice Told WEIRD WORLDS "Creature"
What happens when you take a 1950s comic story, and redo the art 20 years later...
...but re-use the original dialogue and captions?
Read for yourself...
Read for yourself...
With a script taken almost verbatim from the (then) 20 year-old tale "Lost Kingdom of Althala" (which we showed you Tuesday), this story from Eerie Publications' Weird Worlds V1N10 (1970) had a complete redo on the art by Argentine illustrator Oscar Fraga, whose work in the American comics market was exclusively for Eerie Publications and consisted solely of re-dos of 1950s stories!
