Reading Room SPACE ACTION "Dictator of Japetus"

It appears that, even in the future, Mankind will still have dictators!
Personally, I've never seen the appeal of someone, who wasn't elected by the majority of the populace, arbitrarily-deciding matters for us!
Penciled by then-up-and-comer Mike Sekowsky, this tale from Ace's Space Action #3 (1952) is typical space opera of the period with a little political intrigue thrown in, and reads better than most of the stories that ran in Space Action.

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder O.C.T. OCCULT CRIMES TASKFORCE Chapter 1 Part 1

Sophia Ortiz is a dedicated NYPD officer, taking "to protect and serve" seriously...
...and its' that dedication to duty that's gonna lead her into a World of Wonder she never dreamed of!
To Be Continued...
Next Wednesday!
Created and co-written by actress Rosario (Ahsoka) Dawson (who posed for photo reference for Sophia Ortiz), co-written by David Atchison, and illustrated by Tony (Star Trek) Shasteen, 12-Gauge/Image Comics' 2007 4-issue mini-series Occult Crimes TaskForce was a mystical (rather than scientific), gritty/urban take on the Men in Black concept.
Trivia note: NYPD (even rookies) don't wear khaki uniforms!
(My brother was a NYPD cop for 20 years from the 1980s to the early 2000s...never wore khaki.)
I'm surprised Dawson, who was born and lived in NYC until her late teens, didn't point this out to the other creatives!
I suppose it could be attributed to this being a fictionalized version of NYC...

Reading Room WEIRD TALES OF THE FUTURE "The Time Has Come"

Here's a sci-fi comic story starring a guy named Alan Moore...
...and he's not that Alan Moore, since this story from Key's Weird Tales of the Future #1 (1952) predates the award-winning writer's birth by a year!

On a similar (if somewhat silly) note, you can see TV's Green Hornet battle Frank Miller (not the writer/artist) HERE!
Ironically, the writer of this story is unknown, but the artist is John Bulthuis, whose credited work appeared in MLJ/Archie and Key Comics titles, but his style looks similar to quite a number of unidentified stories I've seen.
