Holiday Reading Room SANTA CLAUS PARADE "Crystal the Snowflake"

Kris Kringle is considering getting out of the Yuletide business!

But if he does, who will take over the business?

Thankfully, the then-modern technology of the 1950s offered a solution as this never-reprinted story from Ziff-Davis' Santa Claus Parade (1951) by an unknown writer and artist(s) or writer-artist(s) demonstrates!

Space Force Saturdays ROCKY JONES: SPACE RANGER "Velocity X"

"Warp drive" didn't begin with Star Trek...

but lightspeed (or faster) travel was a rarity in 1950s' tv science fiction, where rockets dominated the skies!

Of all the 1950s Space Heroes we present here, Rocky Jones seems closest to the most famous tv Space Hero of all--Capt James T Kirk!

While the credits for this story from Charlton's Space Adventures #15 (1955) list Ted Galindo and Vince Alascia as the artists, there's enough difference from the other stories credited to them for me to believe it's actually Alden McWilliams.

Rocky Jones will return in the near future...

Written by Roger McKenzie and illustrated by Adrian Gonzales, Golden Book's Gremlins (1984) one-shot comic movie adaptation was a 52-page magazine with very limited distribution in America.

Apparently, it's better-known overseas than here in the USA!

Holiday Reading Room RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER "The Reindeer Who Saved Christmas!"

It's Almost Christmas and Santa is Desperate...

...that's as concise a synopsis as you'll ever read, so on to the story with all requisite speed...

The copy we're using doesn't have a final page.

So we'll use the original hand-drawn layout!

 

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!
We hope you've enjoyed this bit of holiday history, and keep checking us out for more Christmastime fun!
