Wednesday Worlds of Wonder BOMBA THE JUNGLE BOY "Nightmare!" Conclusion

We Have Already Seen...

...Karg, would-be world conqueror from millennia ago attempts to finish what he started in the distant past.
Standing against him is the only person on present-day Earth who knows who he is and what danger he represents...


That prayer went unanswered as Bomba and Krag never met in mortal combat again!
This never-reprinted (in English) seventh issue of DC's Bomba the Jungle Boy was the final appearance of the character in comics.
Correction: a couple of the series' early issues were reprinted in the back of DC's Tarzan in the 1970s when the book switched to the "100-page Super-Spectacular" format after going from monthly to bi-monthly!
Since DC no longer had the rights to Bomba, the character was re-named "Simba"!
But neither this, nor the previous issue, were reprinted.
Trivia note: when this issue was reprinted in France, the cover art was modified...
I have no idea why!
(It looks like they're playing "tug of war"!)
Next Week:
A New World of Wonder!

Tales Twice Told STRANGE GALAXY "Terror Asteroid"

With a really kool title like this...
...you can bet there'll be thrills and chills aplenty in the dark void of space..where no one can hear you scream!
If you think this story from Eerie Publications' b/w magazine Strange Galaxy V1N11 (1971) has a curiously-1950s retro feel to it, you'd be right...sort of.
Though the art by Antonio Reynoso is new, the story itself is lifted, with only minor caption and dialogue changes, from a tale in Avon Comics' Strange Worlds #9 (1952)!
We'll bring you that one on Thursday!
Note: Reynoso was one of numerous South American artists used by Eerie to re-interpret old comics stories in an updated, usually gorier, style for the b/w magazine market.
In fact, he did more stories (over 80 of them) than any other artist!
And, unlike most of their other illustrators, he worked exclusively for Eerie in the American comics business!

Monday Maternity Madness CHOICES "Civilization as We Know It!!"

The male (not "men" by any standard) Republican mindset in a nutshell...
...and I do mean "nut"!
From Angry Isis Press' Choices: a Pro-Choice Benefit Comic for the Anthology National Organization for Women, produced to raise money after the Supreme Court ruling of Webster V Reproductive Health Services (1989) began the re-imposition of limits to the rights of women over their own bodies!

Space Heroine Saturdays TARA "Outlaw of the Universe!"

An origin story, or as we say in comics "Who She Is and How She Came to Be"!

And it hasn't been reprinted since initial publication in Nedor's Wonder Comics #15 (1947)
Yes, I said #15, even though the cover by Alex Schomberg (aka "Xela") is from #16!
I'll explain later...
Tara continued in Wonder Comics until the book was cancelled, then popped over to fellow Nedor title Thrilling Comics for her final appearance!
You'll be seeing another chapter of her saga once a month as part of Space Heroine Saturdays!
As to why the cover for the next issue is used here:
1) the cover for #15 featured a different character.
2) The cover used on #16 actually shows a situation from this issue (#15)!
