Tales Twice Told STRANGE WORLDS "Space-Gods of Planetoid 50!"

What if Chariots of the Gods? took place on another planet?
And Earthmen were the aliens thought to be "gods"?
This look at the future from Avon's Strange Worlds #7 (1952) was illustrated by artistic mainstay Gene Fawcette, but the writer is unknown.
As you might have guessed from our sub-head, the tale was retold...with the same dialogue and captions...but totally-new artwork...in 1971!

Monday Maternity Madness CHOICES "Abortion: What Would Hippocrates Say?"

From Choices, a benefit comic produced in 1989, after the Webster V Reproductive Health Services verdict...

...when we thought that was the worst that could happen to America's women!

"Those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it!"

Written and illustrated by William Messner-Loebs, a multi-award-winning writer/artist who would do an acclaimed run on DC's Wonder Woman a couple of years after this.

I'm a fan of literally everything relating to Flash Gordon...
...and this never-reprinted short from the HTF fanzine Heritage (1971) is one of the best Flash stories ever!
You can tell writer/artist Estaban Maroto is a serious Alex Raymond fan, right?
