Friday Fascist Fun UNQUOTABLE TRUMP "Nice Nurse"

From Now Until Election Day, We'll Be Presenting Examples of How Creatives See Don da Con...

Is he referring to his "concept of a plan"?
Note: In 2016, Don da Con said he had "a big, beautiful plan that'll be cheaper than ObamaCare, cover everyone, and be ready to go on Day One, 2017!"
Anybody ever see it?
I didn't!

Based on the cover for Marvel's Night Nurse #3 (1973) by Win Mortimer!

Reading Room / Tales Twice Told VOODOO "Goodbye...World!"

Tuesday we presented an odder (than usual) Silver Age tale...

 ...with a cover that seemed as if was from another story entirely.

Well, it was...sort of.

The story in Ajax's Midnight #4 (1957) was a reprint of a tale from Ajax's Voodoo #7 (1953), which was published during the height of the horror comics boom!

And, let's just say that Ajax's editorial packager, the Iger Studio, was not noted for its' subtle (or even tasteful) stories.

The heavy hand of the Comics Code Authority forced quite a few changes from this wild original version, as you will see from the splash panel onward...

Beyond little things like making the duo who are sent into space to spawn the new human race a married couple instead of a pair of unmarried co-workers, the harpies were redrawn as insect-like humanoids (which made a certain amount of sense), and the ending was totally-redone as a happy ending with humanity surviving the alien onslaught!

Personally, I prefer the original!

Wednesday Worlds of Wolverton MARVEL TALES "Gateway to Horror"

For Halloween, we're devoting this feature to the demented delineations of Basil Wolverton...

...such as this sordid story from Marvel Tales #104 (1951)!

Marvel Comics (known as this point as Atlas Comics) embraced horror comics as much as any other publisher during the 1950s, occasionally pushing the borders of "good taste" with work by Basil Wolverton, Russ Heath, Bill Everett, Joe Maneely, Steve Ditko, and others.

Reading Room / Tales Twice Told MIDNIGHT "Project Final X"

Will the world end in an ecological disaster...

...or will it be something much more sinister?

Now that you've read this story from Ajax's Midnight #4 (1957), you might be asking yourself if it seems like it was a tad...disjointed, and that it didn't make much sense at a couple of points.
There's actually a good reason for thinking that.
The clues are in the cover for that issue...

Look carefully at the differences between the alien you see on the cover and the ones in the story itself.

There is a reason behind it all!

Be here Thursday for the surprising, shocking explanation!

Monday Maternity Madness CHOICES "Right to Strife"

While some may claim this one-pager by writer/artist Harry S Robins from Angry Isis Press' Choices: a Pro-Choice Benefit Comic for the Anthology National Organization for Women (1990) is a grossly-exaggerated parody of the Reich-wing mentality of the anti-choice mob, I can confirm from personal observation of some of their protests that it is only slightly-exaggerated.
