Monday Mars Madness WAR OF THE WORLDS "Part IV: Earth Under the Martians"

...this ain't no treat, but the mother of all tricks, as the Martians have effectively conquered the Earth!
(Though you have to admit, this painted cover for the German edition, based on Gil Kane/Dave Cockrum's pen-and-ink art, is a treat, indeed!)
...what's the answer?
Another trick?
Or a life-saving treat?

But what about something for the younger crowd, the tweens and pre-teens, the toddlers and babies?
Well, never let it be said we ignored a target demographic!

Friday Fun ARRGH! "Gerald's World"

Nerds aka fanboys/girls like us weren't always socially-acceptable!


In fact, in the pre-Internet (heck, even pre-VCR days), we were downright reviled and shunned!
Read this tale filled (albeit lovingly) with the geek stereotypes of two generations ago!







Written and illustrated by the extremely-underrated Tom Sutton, this never-reprinted story from Marvel's ARRGH! #2 (1975) displays two of his trademark motifs, horror and humor!
This was an attempt to do a new MAD-style four-color comic due to the early 1970s loosening of editorial restrictions by the Comics Code Authority!
Sadly, the book only lasted five issues...

Reading Room WEIRD TALES OF THE FUTURE "Purple Mists!"

The perils of exploring the universe are many and varied...
...as seen in this never-reprinted story from Key Publications' Weird Tales of the Future #6 (1953)!
Though it's implied that one of the guys Rex and Tom shot was Rex's brother, that point is more-or-less ignored!
The writer is unknown, but artist Hy Fleishman signed his work in the first panel.
Fleishman worked for numerous publishers during the 1950s including Atlas (later Marvel), StoryKey, and Lev Gleason in various genres including horror, war, sci-fi, western, romance, and even humor.
