Space Force Saturdays SPACE PATROL "Outlaws of Vesta"

...with another tale from Ziff-Davis' Space Patrol #1 (1952)!
Yes, Tonga was still a "bad" girl at this point in the series.
Though the art is clearly Bernie Krigstein, there's debate as to whether the scripter is prolific comic writer Paul S Newman or Drift Marlo creator/writer Phillip Evans.

There's more Space Patrol excitement to come as we present every tale from its' two-issue run!

Friday Fun FARMER'S DAUGHTER "Gig McCoy: Around the Cracker Barrel"

As cons/Republicans continue to support a failed politician/urban "businessman" who specializes in tall tales...
...we'll amuse you with a story about a rural businessman who, though honest, specializes in tall tales!
This never-reprinted story from Stanhall's Farmer's Daughter #1 (1954) was typical of the sort of lowbrow humor the publisher specialized in.
With titles including Broadway-Hollywood Blackouts and G.I. Jane, Stanhall produced adult-oriented (but never more risque than PG-13) humor.
Animator Hal Seegar was the editor/writer/illustrator for the non "good girl" strips like this one, while Bill Williams handled the art for the more risque material (like the title feature) which Seegar wrote and edited.

Reading Room / Tales Twice-Told TERROR TALES "Horror Bugs"

Last Tuesday, We Presented a Frightening Future by Simon & Kirby HERE!
Now, We Present Another Artist's Version of That Same Story!

Illustrated by Antonio Reynoso, this retelling from Eerie Publications' Terror Tales V5N6 (1973) of Simon & Kirby's "Slaughter-House" shows the SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) of editor Carl Burgos.
  • Find an old story from a now-defunct publisher that hadn't been reprinted since the 1950s.
  • Use the original script almost verbatim, usually making a couple of changes in the opening and closing narratives and assigning it to one of the team of talented South American artists hired to work at rates lower than US illustrators!
  • "Update" it, making technology and aliens look like what tv/movies were currently showing.
  • And, in this case, making one of the primary characters in the originally all-White cast a Black guy!
Curiously, though most of these reworked versions were reprinted throughout the publisher's various titles, usually a year after the previous publication, this story was only run once!
