Reading Room WORLD OF FANTASY "Frightened Ones!"

Ever hear the phrase "It's all a matter of perspective"?
This never-reprinted tale from Atlas' World of Fantasy #4 (1956) validates it!

Penciled (and possibly inked) by Mike Sekowsky, this short proves "there's always someone bigger than you"!

Monday Mars Madness MARS ATTACKS "Invasion Begins"

When Last We Left the Inhabitants of the Red Planet...

...oh, yeah!

That's what's happening!

Now, who could argue with that?

To Be Continued in...
"Martians Approaching!"

Next Monday!

Written by Mario A Bruni and Bruce Spaulding Fuller and illustrated by Greg Capullo, each issue of the mini-comic (3"x4.5", the size of the actual trading cards) told the story of a particular card, in this case, Card #1 "The Invasion Begins"!
Note: with the exception of the cover and first page, the scans above are of two-page spreads which actually makes their original image size 6"x4.5"!
These never-reprinted comics were published two issues at a time in the same sort of boxes the original trading cards came in.
Sadly, only four issues in two box sets came out before the project ended. 
Both of the writers were contributors to Gore Shriek, which still exists on the 'Net!
Artist Greg Capullo has gone on to a long, illustrious career at Marvel, Image, and DC!

Space Hero Saturdays LANCE LEWIS: SPACE DETECTIVE "Amoeba Men of Saturn"

Another Golden Age interstellar private eye joins our feature...

...as he meets the first of two alien races who will become his arch-foes, and rescues the woman who will become his constant...(ahem)...friend and companion!

Referred to as both "Saturnians" and "Amoeba Men", these aliens would return to wage a full-scale interplanetary war with Earth.

This story from Nedor/Standard's Mystery Comics #4 (1944) was Lance's second appearance ever.

Both the writer and artist are currently unknown, even to the Grand Comic Database.

Since Mystery Comics was cancelled as of #4, Lance moved over to Startling Comics, where he became the cover feature from his premiere in #44 to the book's demise as of #53.

Several years after this series ended, an unrelated Space Detective series written by Walter (The Shadow) Gibson with art by Wally Wood and Joe Orlando ran in its own title at Avon Comics.

Friday Fun 50s FUNNIES "Hot Sox the Teenage Devil Delinquent! in 'I Sold My Soul for Rock'N'Roll!' "

He's not who you think...

...he's a lot snarkier, but still PG-13, so kids can read him!

But he's not Comics Code-approved!

You've been warned!

As you may have guessed, Hot Sox was a parody of...

..."taken to 11" as they said in This is Spinal Tap!

Written by Larry Shell & Scott Shaw! and illustrated by Shaw! (Yes, the "!" is part of his name), he made his one and only appearance in Kitchen Sink Press' 50s Funnies (1980), a one-shot (and never-reprinted) anthology about (you guessed it) 1950s pop culture...from a 1980s viewpoint!
The impressive list of contributors included Steve Bissette, William Stout, Rick Veitch, Will Meugniot, John Totleben, and Alfredo Alcala!
