Space Force Saturdays ATOM-AGE COMBAT "Third Element"

Is This What Don (da Con) Trump had in Mind...

...when he plagiarized the concept from 1950s sci-fi to create his inane Space Force?

Illustrated by longtime comics veteran Dick Ayers and scripted by an unknown writer, this never-reprinted tale from Fago's Atom-Age Combat #3 (1959) is typical of the sci-fi of the era.

Oddly, it shows us and the (unnamed, but obviously Russkie) enemy dropping everything to unite against extraterrestrials, then agreeing to work together, with no hint of treachery, despite the fact a "Space Race" was on between Americans and Soviets to get men into space and even to the Moon ASAP!

Friday Fun CRACKED and CRAZY BiCentennial Features

MAD is Easily the Most Famous of the b/w Comic Parody Magazines...

...but there were others who were no slouches when it came to satire and parody, starting with this never-reprinted feature from Marvel's Crazy #19 (1976)...

Written by Michael Pellowski and illustrated by Tony Tallarico.

Now, let's look at the other major MAD competitor, with this three-pager written and illustrated by Don Orehek from Major Magazines' Cracked #137 (1976)...

Finally, another Cracked feature, this one from #136 (1976) by writer/artist Su Gumen which demonstrates how "media bias" works!

Hope you liked these 49 year-old flashbacks to the Bicentennial!

And I pray America's still around for her 250th Birthday next year!

Patriotic Reading Room 1776: the Movie Conclusion

When Last We Left a Disfunctional Congress...

...no, not the one currently screwing up America!

The one screwing up the founding of America!

Specifically, conservatives, even then, "right-wingers".

Some called them Tories.
Some called them "traitors"!

How Thomas Jefferson was ...persuaded...to write the Declaration was abridged in the comic...but not in the movie!

To keep the horny Jefferson on-task, a little feminine assistance was imported from Virginia...

Sexually-satiated (in a tasteful, Comics Code-approved way), Jefferson pens the Declaration of Independence...

...and then the debating really began...

One matter the comic avoids, but the movie (and the play it's based on) doesn't is slavery and how it was addressed in this situation...

And now, back to the voting...

And thus was the "Great Experiment" Born!

Happy 249th Birthday, America!

I Hope and Pray We Reach the 250th!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder WEIRD THRILLERS "Cycle of Time"

With the revived popularity of dinosaurs due to the new movie Jurassic World: Rebirth...

...we're re-presenting one of our favorite stories; a sci-fi triple-treat: time travel, aliens, and dinosaurs!

Illustrated by Murphy Anderson, who was doing quite a bit of work for ZD including the second issue of Space Busters and both issues of Lars of Mars as well as various one-shots like this one from the HTF Ziff-Davis' anthology Weird Thrillers #2 (1951)!.

We don't know who wrote this tale, but it might be series editor Jerry (Superman) Siegel.

Patriotic Reading Room 1776: the Movie Part 1

Before Hamilton, There Was a Broadway Musical About the Creation of the USA!

But, unlike Hamilton, there was a comic book adaptation of it...when it was transformed into a movie!

As you can see, doing a musical as a comic book has a major drawback!

NO MUSICAL NUMBERS!

But we have a solution...Insert the songs back into the narrative!

Now, on with the comic...

Time for another song!

Again, back to the comic...

To Be Continued...Tomorrow...
