It's Pride Month...

...and we believe everyone (except villains) should be welcome in the multiverse!

So, since there are now numerous LGBTQ+ characters and stories in almost every genre of Movie/TV/Graphic storytelling...

...we're going to be presenting (and linking to) a number of them in various RetroBlogs during June!

(For the prurient among you, everything will be PG-13)

Starting this week, you'll find stories at

True Love Comics Tales

on Wednesdays for the entire month!
And we'll inform you of where else in the RetroBlogs multiverse you'll see more tales...

Space Heroine? Saturdays CRAZY "Tess Orbit: Lace Cadet"

MAD wasn't the only satire anthology comic in the pre-Code days...

..though it was both the best-known and best written/drawn of an entire herd of titles!

This never-reprinted tale, spoofing the TV/radio series Tom Corbett: Space Cadet, was probably the best story in Atlas' Crazy #1 (1953), and actually feels more like one of the risque PussyCat short features the Marvel Bullpen did for Marvel's publisher Martin Goodman's laddie magazines!

(Goodman owned both Marvel and a magazine publishing company until he sold Marvel in 1972.)
The strip is illustrated by Al Hartley, who did a lot of romance work (along with some sci-fi and horror) and eventually became a mainstay of Archie Comics in the late 1960s through the '70s.
(For the record, Hartley also co-created and illustrated Atlas' Leopard Girl I for her entire run)
But the writer is unknown.

Friday Fun CRAZY "Tales from Aesop's Stables"

Here's a never-reprinted example of horror humor...

...from one of Atlas' several MAD clones, Crazy V1N7 (1954)

Despite the title, this piece written and illustrated by Howie Post was not part of a series!

Well, perhaps it was!
But since this was the last issue, no other installments were ever seen!

Reading Room VENUS COMICS "Plot!"

With concern mounting about artificial intelligence (AI) taking over more and more control of our daily lives...

...we thought we'd take a look at one of the early tales about robots rebelling against Mankind!

As you might have guessed, we're re-presenting the never-reprinted back-up stories!

This back-up story from Atlas' Venus Comics #11 (1950), is illustrated by Russ Heath.

The writer is unknown.

Long before the Terminator and Matrix films, sci-fi literature presented examples of our creations such as the Robotmen of the Lost Planet one-shot comic we recently re-presented!
