Reading Room STUART TAYLOR IN WEIRD STORIES OF THE SUPERNATURAL "Waterloo"

We presented another tale of time traveler Stuart Taylor last year...

...today, we see how Stuart and his mentor, Dr Hayward, changed the course of history!

Bet you didn't know time-travelers with ray guns helped defeat Napoleon!

That's just one of the time-lost secrets found in this Sy Reit-illustrated tale from Fiction House's Jumbo Comics #25 (1941), published almost a year before we entered an already-ongoing World War II!
At that time, almost everyone felt we'd be entering the war sooner or later.
The only questions were "when?" and "why?", which were answered on December 7th, 1941, when we were attacked at Pearl Harbor.

The rest...as we say...is history!

Best of Wednesday Worlds of Wonder CHRONICLES OF GENGHIS GRIMTOAD

I'm Sure a Lot of You are Going...WTF???

It's the story of the heroic and handsome Prince Erik, the heroic and beautiful Princess Jade (his MILFy mother...don't get any ideas!)..and the decidedly un-heroic and...well...toadlike, inept sorcerer's apprentice Genghis Grimtoad!

Written by Alan Grant & John Wagner and illustrated by Ian Gibson, it was originally-published in Marvel UK's bi-weekly anthology magazine Strip (their counterpart to American Marvel's Epic Magazine), it appeared in the entire 20-issue run, but remained unfinished since the magazine was cancelled before the strip was scheduled to finish several issues later!
However, due to public demand, Marvel UK gathered up the published storyline, added in the unpublished material and issued it as a graphic novel!

We presented the entire rarely-seen-in-America tale here...

Take Robert E Howard, JRR Tolkien, and Terry Pratchett and toss in talking toads, this is what you get!

Reading Room COMIC READER "Invasion!"

Here's a single image that conveys an entire story...

...a, sadly, never-completed tale meant for one of the Charlton sci-fi anthologies of the late Silver Age.

Probably abandoned when Jim Aparo joined editor Dick Giordano when he moved over to DC, it's typical of the detailed work Aparo produced for them, despite the awful printing that would obscure a lot of the time-intensive rendering.

The Comic Reader was a late 1960s-early 1970s newszine/fanzine, available at comic conventions and by subscription.

The covers were almost always exclusives, either pieces done to promote current projects (a Manhunter cover by Walt Simonson during the character's revival in Detective Comics) or unpublished work like this one that editor-publisher Paul Levitz felt deserved exposure to an appreciative audience!

Monday Mecha Madness SHOGUN WARRIORS "Downfall!" Part 1

When Last We Left Our Mecha and Their Pilots...

...while the synopsis covers a few plot points, it doesn't mention what Ilongo and Richard don't know...the third Shogun Warrior, Combatra V, is now in the hands of the evil Maur-Kon and its' pilot, Genji Odashu, is his unconscious prisoner!

To Be Concluded Next Monday!

Written by Doug Moench, pencild by Herb Trimpe and inked by Mike Esposito, Marvel's never-reprinted Shogun Warriors #6 (1979) hurtles towards the conclusion of the first story arc with breakneck speed!

Though It's an "Off-Year", Your Participation Will Have a Major Effect!

Sadly, this story, published almost 75 years ago is as relevant today as it was in 1952, with the basic percentages of voter participation unchanged!

...unless not enough of those heroes actually go to vote!

Here's a handy (very) basic guide...

Illustrated by Warren Kremer and Al Avision, this one-shot published by Harvey Comics in 1952 (72 years ago) was offered for only a couple of pennies a copy to any group (even Republicans) who wanted to utilize it to get out the vote!

Note: Our gratitude to the ever-amazing Kracalactaka for the full-color scans of this ultra-rare comic!

Now, unless you want things to stay as they are (or get worse)...if you're over 18 and under 110...
