Space Heroine Saturdays TARA "Satellite of the Moon Spiders!"

Tara's home, Wonder Comics, had been cancelled...

...but there was still one graphic tale of fighting interplanetary injustice to be told!

Our Space Heroine's final comic story appeared in Standard's Thrilling Comics #71 (1949), illustrated by her co-creator Gene Fawcette.

But, this isn't her last appearance in Space Heroine Saturdays!
What does that mean?
You'll find out next month!

Friday Fun RICHIE RICH "Military Mix-Up"

The Dreaded Deadline Doom caught us this week...

...so enjoy this carry-over from our brother RetroBlog, Hero Histories, featuring The Poor Little Rich Boy kicking Russkie butt in this tale from Harvey's Richie Rich #51 (1966)!

Whatta guy!

And he didn't even have to become Super-Richie/Rippy...

...to do it!

(If you think there's a lot of Spider-Man or Batman titles out now...and there are quite a few...it's nothing compared to Richie Rich at his peak, when there were...take a deep breath...

32 simultaneous monthly, bi-monthly and quarterly Richie Rich Universe titles!
And that's not including Casper, Sad Sack, and all the other non-Richie Rich Harvey titles!

You read that right, True Believer!
By the way, they were all selling better than almost everything Marvel and DC has out there now!

Reading Room: SPACE ACTION "Weird Threat of the Space Giants"

There's nothing better than some good 'ol cheesy sci-fi schlock...

...just think of it as a SyFy network Saturday night movie, but on paper rather than your TV screen!

This never-reprinted tale from Ace's Space Action #2 (1952) was illustrated by workhorse Bill Molno, but the writer's name has eluded our keen senses.

Lucky guy!
