Reading Room TIME WARP "Survivors"

Even in the future, there's one inviolable rule about volunteering...

...never, ever, do it!

I love switch-endings.

Writer Mike W Barr and illustrator Tom Sutton do a bang-up job worthy of the classic EC comics Weird Science and Weird Fantasy!

The late Tom Sutton was both extremely versatile and extremely under-rated!

He did everything from humor (Not Brand Echh!) to media tie-in sci-fi (Star Trek, Planet of the Apes) to romance (Haunted Love), to horror (Werewolf by Night) and did them all well.

There's a wonderful interview with him HERE that gives real insight into him and why he, sadly, never became a superstar.

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder SILVER SURFER: THE ULTIMATE COSMIC EXPERIENCE Part 5

We Have Already Seen...

(Yes, this is the Jack Kirby/Mike Royer original for the unused cover for the graphic novel.

It served as the basis for Earl Norem's painted version that appeared on both the hardcover and paperback editions from Simon & Schuster.)

While Galactus prepares to devour the Earth, the Silver Surfer attempts to prove to Ardina that the planet and its' people are worth defending from the Devourer of Planets...

What next?

Does the Surfer survive?

Where's Ardina?

And what of the ever-hungry Galactus?

Dare you miss the next, exciting chapter?

Reading Room FLASH GORDON COMICS "World You WILL Live In"

Though the Flash Gordon stories in this four-issue series from Harvey were newspaper reprints...

...there were text stories and ongoing features that were new material!

This feature appeared in all four issues of the 1950-51 book.

Sadly, the writer and artist are unknown.

It's fascinating to see what they got wrong...and more importantly, what they got right!

Monday Mars Madness MARS ATTACKS "Attacking an Army Base"

When Last We Left the Martians...

Art by Wally Wood, Bob Powell, and Norm Saunders

...they were en-route to Earth, and had destroyed several satellites (manned and unmanned) in orbit.

Now, we're about experience...well...it's pretty obvious...

John Green takes over as penciler-inker for this chapter.

We're not certain if it's a pseudonym, since the only other credits we can find for "John Green" are for a younger artist who would've been in elementary school at the time of this series!

First up is

The Summer of...The Shadow!

We're re-presenting not one, not two, but three never-reprinted decades-old series featuring He Who Knows...you know the rest!

The remainder of the never-reprinted non-Mike Kaluta-illustrated issues of the 1970s Shadow comic series (we already ran one HERE) written by Denny O'Neil and Michael Uslan, featuring art by Frank Robbins and ER Cruz in
Crime & Punishment!
 

The remainder of the never-reprinted, campy,1960s Shadow "costumed superhero" series written by Jerry Siegel and illustrated by Paul Reinman. (and, yes, we already ran several of them HERE, HERE, and HERE) published by Archie Comics, in

Hero Histories

And, because the response to our previous prose novel presentations was so positive, we're going to run the last original novel under the "Maxwell Grant" pseudonym (though it was really genre novelist Dennis Lynds, not Shadow creator Walter Gibson) through three RetroBlogs...
Hero Histories
Crime and Punishment

Plus, we're returning to a blog we've inadvertently-neglected this past year with a festival featuring the greatest martial arts performer of all time...

We've been doing "theme months" at

True Love Comics Tales!

July will of the month of...

...with re-presentations of never-reprinted tales from both the 1960s Dell comic (above), and the 1980s Marvel/Star comic!

And, the final July post (after the Barbie movie opens on July 21st) will be about a 1960s comic created to tie-in with a competitor's line of fashion dolls!

If we weren't doing these re-presentations, we'd be the first in line to read them!
The Summer Fun begins
July 3rd!
