Monday Maternity Madness CHOICES "Abortion: What Would Hippocrates Say?"

From Choices, a benefit comic produced in 1989, after the Webster V Reproductive Health Services verdict...

...when we thought that was the worst that could happen to America's women!

"Those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it!"

Written and illustrated by William Messner-Loebs, a multi-award-winning writer/artist who would do an acclaimed run on DC's Wonder Woman a couple of years after this.

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...
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!
