Added to the 2025 RetroBlog Summer Blogathon...BATMAN VS THE THREE VILLAINS OF DOOM...ENHANCED!

 A Couple of Years Ago...

...we re-presented this never-reprinted, original 1966 novel by "Winston Lyon" (actually noted Golden Age/Silver Age comics writer William Woolfolk) which combined elements of both the comic book and TV series versions of the Caped Crusader starting HERE!
What we didn't realize at the time, was how much of the comic book version was actually taken directly from the comics!
Just as numerous plots of the TV show's first season were based on comic books, three chapters of the novel took their main plots...crimes by specific sinister super-criminals...from three different comics guest-starring those baleful baddies!
You'll see the specific chapters...along with the comic stories, on Sundays in August, right here!

Space Hero Saturdays SPACE ACE "Nothing Weapon!"

Buckle Up for EXCITEMENT in the Far-Flung Reaches of Space...

...as Magazine Enterprise's Space Ace 2.5 makes his initial appearance, and he's looking good!





Al Williamson does the penciling, showing off his superb design and anatomy skills.
The inking is by Williamson plus the legendary Fleagle Gang (Frank Frazetta, Angelo Torres, Roy Krenkel, George Woodbridge).
If that weren't enough, the script is by Gardner Fox, taking the somewhat more juvenile concepts of "Space Ace 2.0" (as seen HERE and HERE) and making them a superb example of classic, epic space opera.

BONUS #1: the original art for page one...
Is that magnificent, or what? ;-)
Bonus #2
This story in 3-D
Get your Red/Blue glasses out...



From 3-D Zone #10 (1988)

Reading Room HOUSE OF MYSTERY "Human TIme Capsule"

Under this kool Ruben Moreira cover...
...lurks an even kooler, never-reprinted tale of illegal aliens and crime from DC's House of Mystery #64 (1957)!

So the American citizen is the criminal, not the "illegal alien"!
The Mort Meskin-illustrated tale left a possibility for a sequel, which was never realized!
Since even DC doesn't know who wrote it (and the odds are the author is deceased by now), we'll never know...
