Monday Madness SLOW DEATH "Antarctica!"

The first Earth Day was in 1970...as was the first issue of this environmentally-themed comic!

In 2020, this 50th Anniversary final issue came out featuring a mix of new and classic tales!

This is the cover-featured new story about...

Writer/artist William Stout has worked on movie/tv storyboards and production design, illustrated comic books, album covers, and movie posters.

In 1989, Stout traveled to Antarctica and Patagonia.
His experiences there eventually resulted in a one-man show Dinosaurs, Penguins and Whales — The Wildlife of Antarctica.

In 1991 Stout received a grant from the National Science Foundation to participate in their Antarctic Artists and Writers Program.
For three months during the 1992-1993 austral summer, Stout was based at McMurdo Station and Palmer Station.
He made several dives beneath the ice, climbed the active volcano Mount Erebus, camped in the dry valleys, and produced over one hundred painted studies as he carefully observed Antarctica's wildlife.

Talk about "practice what you preach"!

Space...Hero? Saturdays WEIRD TALES OF THE FUTURE "Jumpin' Jupiter 'In Space No One Can Hear You Laugh' "

If you thought Jumpin' Jupiter's first story was weird...

..his third appearance from Weird Tales of the Future #4 (1953) is gonna make you plotz!

Whether it's his ongoing SpaceHawk and Space Patrol strips or any of the numerous one-shot tales he did, Wolverton's Golden Age output was always instantly-recognizable!
The humor strip ran in #2 thru #5 of Key Publications' Weird Tales of the Future, along with several serious sci-fi/horror one-shot stories also written and illustrated by the amazing Basil!
And, yes, we'll get to the second tale, along with the fourth (and final) one...in the future! (Where else?)

Friday Fun RIOT the Complete "Why Izzit?"

Appearing in Atlas' Riot #5 and #6 (1956)...

...these never-reprinted features by writer Stan Lee, penciler Dan DeCarlo, and inker Rudy Lapick...

...were designed as fillers for use at any point the book's page count came up short!

Were more created...but never used?

Or are these four pages all that exist?

I suspect we'll never know the answer...
