Tales Twice Told STRANGE GALAXY "Planetoid Monsters"

On Tuesday, we brought you a kool tale...

...which predated Chariots of the Gods by a couple of decades.
Today, we present a re-visualization of the exact same script from the 1970s!

Illustrated by Oscar Stepancich, this story from Eerie Publications' Strange Galaxy #10 (1971) is an almost word-for-word retelling of "Space-Gods of Planetoid 50!" from Avon's Strange Worlds #7 (1952)!

Eerie both reprinted 1940s-50s material from defunct publishers like Avon and Gilmor, and did new versions by South American artists when the originals weren't "graphic" enough!

B/w magazines didn't follow the still-restrictive Comics Code Authority, so they could do more risque material (blood/violence/mild nudity) than color comics!

Tales Twice Told STRANGE WORLDS "Space-Gods of Planetoid 50!"

What if Chariots of the Gods? took place on another planet?

And Earthmen were the aliens thought to be "gods"?

This look at the future from Avon's Strange Worlds #7 (1952) was illustrated by artistic mainstay Gene Fawcette, but the writer is unknown.

As you might have guessed from our sub-head, the tale was retold...with the same dialogue and captions...but totally-new artwork...in 1971!
