Wednesday Worlds of Wonder BRAK THE BARBARIAN "Sword and the Road"

Who is Brak the Barbarian?

Though we presented his first comic appearance last week, most current comics fans are totally-unaware of him!

So let's clear up the matter...

After this never-reprinted text feature from Marvel's Savage Tales V1N6 (1974), there were two more Brak prose short-story collections; When the Idols Walked (1978) and Fortunes of Brak (1980).

All the books were re-edited into the collection shown below.

Next Week: 

Part One of "The Unspeakable Shrine"!

Reading Room / Tales Twice Told TALES FROM THE TOMB "Weird House"

Usually, We Start With the Earlier (1950s) Version of a Story...

...but in this case, it's the later (1970s) telling of the tale!

(BTW, isn't it odd that scientists of 2995 use the technology and dress in clothing from the 1950s?)

Illustrated by Oscar Novelle, this story from Eerie Publications' Tales from the Tomb V3N5 (1971) is a simple, effective "haunted house/castle" story.

The jarring aspect is placing it over a thousand years in the future!
Why?
Thursday's re-presentation of the never-reprinted original version might hold the answer!
BTW, the author of both the original and reworked versions is...unknown!

Space Force Saturdays PERIMETER PATROL SERVICE "Mission to Malooka"

Meet the Perimeter Patrol Service in their never-reprinted premiere...

...from Ziff-Davis' Amazing Adventures #5 (1951)!

This story is a superb example of pulp/comic space opera of the era with all the classic elements:

Square-jawed heroes!

Rockets & ray-guns!

Literal bug-eyed monsters!

No scantly-clad women in this particular tale, but the other Perimeter Patrol Service sagas have them!

BTW, this premiere appearance is illustrated by Murphy Anderson, who had just finished his first run on the Buck Rogers newspaper strip.

He would later specialize doing sci-fi/fantasy at DC Comics, including Hawkman, Adam Strange, and Superman!
