Monday Maternity Madness WIMMEN'S COMIX "TeenAge Abortion"

Odd how the situation in this story from 1972 is equally likely to happen in 2022!
Thank you, Repug Supreme Court justices!
Note: MAY be NSFW due to mature topics, but there is NO NUDITY in the tale!
Written and illustrated by Lora Fountain, this story from Last Gasp's Wimmen's Comix #1 (1972) shows what it was like in the dark pre-Roe V Wade days...and now, unfortunately, in the post-Roe V Wade days.

Space Hero Saturdays SPACEHAWK "Scraches of Doom" & "Moon Justice"


Our final Spacehawk post for the foreseeable future involves two text stories written and illustrated by Basil Wolverton!
You may remember there was a previous two-parter that he neither scripted nor rendered!
Whether he was unhappy with the result, or was simply irritated that the publisher let someone else handle the character, he produced these two rarely-seen tales...
...from Target Comics #10 (above) and Target Comics #15 (below)
And so ends SpaceHawk's adventures as a Saturday Space Hero!
Be here next Saturday as another character gets his (or her) chance to be a Space Hero!

Friday Fun / CoronaVirus Comics CRAZY "Flu Strains from DIfferent Countries"

You thought that, during the 1970s, we were becoming more sensitive to ethnic humor?
You obviously weren't around then, bunkie!
While TV series like All in the Family and films like Kentucky Fried Movie were cleverly skewering racial stereotypes, some pop culture contributors were still indulging in them, as this (not surprisingly) never-reprinted feature from Marvel's Crazy Magazine #43 (1978) proves!
I don't know what writer Fred Wolfe and artist John Langton were thinking when they created this, but the fact that editor Paul Laikin let it see print doesn't speak well for any of their sensibilities!

Tales Twice Told STRANGE GALAXY "Planetoid Monsters"

...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!
