Reading Room COSMIC BOOK "UFO and the Perts vs Experts"

Feeling just a wee bit...paranoid?
Feel like the world just doesn't make any sense at all?
Well, you ain't alone, kiddo!
While it's been reprinted several times, this version from Wandering Star Press' Cosmic Book #1 (1986) is the only time it's been presented in color!
The Cosmic Book was a personal obsession for Pat Boyette who packaged it (as well as doing the covers and a couple of tales inside), then shopped it around to numerous publishers until Ace Comics agreed to co-publish it.
Though there were rumors of a second issue, sadly, it never appeared.

Best of Wednesday Worlds of Wonder MARVEL CLASSICS COMICS "War of the Worlds"

We Wind Up Our Month-Long Retrospective with a Halloween Season Treat (No Trick)...

...HG Wells' best-known novel, The War of the Worlds...told the Marvel Way!

Adapted by Chris Claremont, penciled by Yong Montano, and inked by Dino Castrillo, this almost half-century-old book-length tale is a pretty straightforward adaptation of the original novel, which was the basis for Marvel's just-cancelled KillRaven: Warrior of the Worlds series, which was a sequel featuring a second Martian invasion in 2001!

Note: this was not meant as a tie-in to that series, so Dave Cockrum, who was aiding Art Director John Romita Sr as his Associate Art Director while also drawing the All-New X-Mendeliberately designed the tripods and Martians to look different from the ones appearing in KillRaven and other Marvel Universe titles!

Monday Mecha Madness SHOGUN WARRIORS "Into the Lair of Demons" Conclusion

It's a Trap!

Who, when sitting in a movie theatre doesn't yell at the screen when a character does something incredibly-dumb, like walking into a pitch-black room...alone...with a flashlight whose batteries are dying?
Genji, the pilot of Combatra, is doing something similar...






But, you'll have to wait until November to see it because Nnext week Monday Mecha Madness will become Monday MONSTER Madness for the spooky month of October!

Enjoy an Autumnal ADVENTURE IN ROMANCE with "September Squall"

Since it's September and the cold winds are beginning to blow...
...we thought we'd re-present one of the few romance comic stories actually tied-in with the season from an experimental magazine-sized comic book which featured romance stories with high adventure, historical, and Western tales in a kool cross-genre mash-up!
