Wednesday Worlds of Wonder BOMBA THE JUNGLE BOY "Krag" Part 1
Based on a juvenile high-adventure novel series written between 1926 and 1938...
...the short-lived DC Comics series added sword-and-sorcery/sci-fi/barbarian elements at the end of its' run!
Written by Denny O'Neil and illustrated by Jack Sparling, this never-reprinted tale from DC's Bomba the Jungle Boy #6 (1968) marked a change in direction initiated by new editor Dick Giordano, who revamped existing books like Aquaman, Bomba, Blackhawk, Teen Titans, Strange Adventures (starring Deadman), Secret Six, Showcase. and Young Love, and added new titles including Beware the Creeper and The Witching Hour.

Tales Twice Told STRANGE JOURNEY "Hole in the Sky!"
At first glance, this looks like a typical 1950s sci-fi comics tale...
...flying saucers, aliens, and a misunderstanding between humans and "invaders".
Note: the cover features a uniformed policeman, rather than the plainclothes detective, confronting the alien!
This was the Comics Code-approved version.
For the original, uncensored, horror comics-era story, you'll have to come back on Thursday!

Monday Moon Madness RACE FOR THE MOON "Lunar Trap"
Today's the scheduled launch to the Moon of NASA's Artemis test ship...
But, it won't be like the 1950s, when we thought we'd be fighting with the Soviet Union for control of the Moon!
Pencils by Jack Kirby, inks by Al Williamson (who, along with fellow EC alumnus Reed Crandall), was doing a lot of work for Harvey at the time!
Not sure who wrote it, but speculation is that Kirby himself scripted it.
Either way, a decent story with solid storytelling and magnificent rendering!

The RetroBlogs Summer Blogathon Concluded...
...with a Re-Presentation of the Long-OOP Prose Novel from 1979...
...which spanned two blogs, Seduction of the Innocent and Medical Comics and Stories!
But, because we were posting to both blogs daily, instead of alternating between them with one-a-day posts, we had problems creating the correct hyperlinks to flow the reading experience from chapter to chapter smoothly!
We've done other prose novels...
Captain America: the Great Gold Steal
and
Batman vs the 3 Villains of Doom
Now, that was (dare we say it?), a
NIGHTMARE!
But, everything has been corrected due to cyber-sorcery and now you can read the entire novel starting HERE!NIGHTMARE!
We've done other prose novels...
and
...but they were each posted to a single blog!
When we do more OOP prose novels in the future, that's the format we'll return to!
Hey, we're eccentric...but we're not insane!
