Monday Maternity Madness DEAR LONELY HEARTS "Unwed Mother"

Before the Comics Code Authority Turned the Industry Upside Down in Late 1954...

...comics tended to tell more adult-oriented material since, except for the funny animal/humor books, they were aimed at the 15 to 21 (teen to young adult) audience!

Illustrated by Marty Elkin and scripted by an unknown scribe, this never-reprinted tale from Comic Media's Dear Lonely Hearts #7 (1954) reads like a typical adult soap opera of the era.

After the Code came into effect, even fairly innocuous tales like this were modified from their pre-Code version into almost-unreadable pap as shown HERE.
BTW, it's interesting to note the comic's hostess/narrator, Mildred Norton, is a dead ringer for Joan Crawford!
I don't believe it is mere coincidence!

How Does ALL OF THE MARVELS Tie-In to RetroBlog MEDICAL COMICS & STORIES???

If You're a Marvel Comics Fan and You Haven't Read This Book...

You Damn Well Should!

It's a fascinating look at almost the entire Marvel Comics output (including most non-superhero titles, but not including the Western or military books) from the month in 1961 when Fantastic Four #1 came out to the end of 2017, when the author began writing the book!
One of the strangest, but fascinating, chapters is about a minor character who went from obscurity after appearing in 1961 to a supporting (but important) place in the Marvel Multiverse and the Marvel Cinematic Universe by 2017!
Who is it?

Space Force / Space Heroine Saturdays STARFAWN "To the Nearest Quasar!" Part 6 and Epilogue

We Have Already Seen...

...to prevent a planetary disaster, Shalla (aka StarFawn) utilized her newly-acquired transforming powers to become pure energy and enter an alien power conduit to move trapped fellow crewman Daystar out of the power flow which his body was contaminating!

As she made contact with the helpless, immobile crewman, everything went black, and...

Sadly, there was no sequel tale.

Since both the writer and artist are unfamiliar to most of the under-40 audience, here are their bios from the back of the book...

Though Preiss and Severin have passed on, Steve Fabian is still alive and has a website you can visit HERE.

Reading Room ADVENTURE INTO MYSTERY "Beware...the Brimm!"

If there's one thing any fan of sci-fi/fantasy can tell you, it's that things that appear to be warm, cuddly, and cute are, in reality, rarely harmless...

Illustrated by Angelo Torres and likely plotted by editor Stan Lee, this never-reprinted story from Atlas' Adventure into Mystery #7 (1957) leaves the door open to a sequel, but one never appeared!
