Wednesday Worlds of Wonder DONNA MATRIX "Zero & One" Part 1

Though best-known today as a nom de guerre for late pro wrestler Ursula Hayden...

...the name was initially-used for the action-heroine title character in this never-reprinted proto-cyber comic from thirty-one years ago!

To Be Continued...
Next Wednesday!

Written and 3-D modeled by Mike Sanetz, laid-out and illustrated by Norm Dwyer with additional 3-D modeling by Joseph Allen, Reactor Comics' Donna Matrix "Zero & One" (1993), was the first issue of the projected 100% CG 3-D rendered comic book series by Mike Saenz, creator of previous partially-computerized comic books such as Shatter and the Marvel graphic novel Iron Man: Crash.
It never went past the first issue owing to the comic industry experiencing an industry-wide downsizing.
Saenz would later create Virtual Valerie (the first 3-D rendered comptuer porno game) and the video game Spaceship Warlock.

Reading Room GREEN GIANT COMICS "Fear the Wrath of...The Researcher!"

Next to "The Listener" (DC), "The Witness", or "The Watcher" (both Marvel), probably the least frightening name for a comic hero is...

...however, this guy could make the name synonymous with "action hero"!

“Criminals are a cowardly superstitious lot, so my disguise must be able to strike terror into their hearts.”
As if in answer, a book falls from a nearby shelf.
“A book!
That’s it!
It’s an omen…I shall become a RESEARCHER!”
And thus is born this weird figure of the library…this avenger of evil!
The Researcher!"
(Actually, that never happened, it's just a rephrasing of The Batman's origin from Batman V1N1 (1940)!)

Who is The Researcher?

We never learn his real name.

Everyone calls him "Researcher"...even his girlfriend.

Where did he get the money for his kool weaponry and equipment?

Is he independently-wealthy or does he bill clients?

He hob-nobs with the upper crust, including diplomats, politicians and rich businessmen.

Did he start out as a librarian?

Many are the mysteries surrounding...The Researcher!

Unfortunately, this short strip from Pelican's Green Giant Comics #1 (1940) was his only appearance anywhere!

Pity, since he has a lot of potential.

Frank Thomas, the writer/artist behind this strip created a number of detective-themed characters in the Golden Age including The Eye, The Owl, and Dr Hypno.

Monday Moon Madness BLACK CAT COMICS "Legend of the Sun Eclipse"

Why are we calling this entry "Monday MOON Madness" when the story's title has "Sun Eclipse" in it?

What do you think causes the eclipse?

THE MOON!

Marv Levy wrote and illustrated this never-reprinted tale from Harvey's Black Cat Comics #9 (1948) which combines both Greek and Norse mythology!

Remember:

Don't Look Directly at the Eclipse Without Special Glasses!

It's National Library Week!

Space Hero Saturdays SPACE MOUSE II "Secret Weapon"

Space Heroes take many forms...not all of them human!

 ...as shown in this never-reprinted introductory tale from Dell's Four Color Comics: Space Mouse #1132 (1960).

Writer Carl Fallberg and artist John Carey did such an amazing job on this intro to the character, that when it was adapted in 1963 into a cartoon short (May be NSFW/NSFS due to racial stereotyping of Siamese cats using "Asian" accents) directed by Alex Lovy shown HERE, most (but not all) of the plot, script, and visuals were kept intact!
Though the cartoon didn't result in a Space Mouse TV series (or even additional cartoon shorts featuring the character), it did spawn a number of additional comic book stories as well as a five-issue Space Mouse comic!
