Holiday Reading Room RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER "Who He Is and How He Came to Be!"

Much as Disney's versions of classic fairy tales have become the "accepted" ones...

...the 1964 stop-motion animated TV special of Rudolph is the one everyone knows.

But, this is the real story...

Next Tuesday:

The Plot (and the Fog) Thickens...

Written by Robert L May and illustrated by Denver Gillen, this beloved tale was actually an advertising promotion designed to lure customers into doing Christmas shopping!

True!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder ATARI FORCE "Galaxian" Part 1

Welcome to the Final Tale of the Original Atari Force...

...as they probe the Multiverse for a new home for humanity to replace a devastated Earth!

Several questions:

Who are the people shown in the holocube?

Does Atari not have a version of the Prime Directive?

Writers Roy Thomas & Gerry Conway and artists Gil Kane & Dick Giordano may have the answers, but they ain't telling, yet!
This mini-comic, DC's Atari Force #5 (1983), was packaged with the Atari videogame cartridge Galaxian.

It was not sold separately.

To Be Continued

Rudolph Reading Room RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER the Secret Saga!

You only think  you know the story...

...but the truth is far different!

Yeah, you know the 1940s song and you've seen the 1960s animated TV special every Christmas for as long as you can remember.

But, it's not the original tale of the guy with the glowing nose!

Starting Thursday, we're re-presenting a special treat...the rarely-seen prose tale that inspired both the Gene Autry song and stop-motion tv special.

Here's a vintage 1940s cartoon by Max Fleischer that's somewhat closer to the "classic" version...

And be here Thursday for the actual, illustrated, prose tale!

Monday Madness: The Forgotten Inspiration for Disney's FROZEN...Hans Christian Anderson's "The Snow Queen"

Disney has a long history of adapting classic fairy tales...

...but none went further away from the source material than "Frozen".

Yes, it's been a commercial phenomenon, but, if you're looking for the Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale...this ain't it!

If you want to see an extremely-faithful version of the classic tale...

Christmas at Ground Zero!
