Reading Room WEIRD TALES OF THE FUTURE "Beginning or the End!"

Let's start with ACTION and LOTS and LOTS of SPACESHIPS...
Is that an opening splash page or what?
The rest of the story isn't quite so frantic, but it is interesting...
Oops!
The writer of this never-reprinted story from Key's Weird Tales of the Future #6 (1953) is unknown, but the artist is Eugene E Hughes, who had a brief career in comics working exclusively for Key Publications, then disappeared from the art world (comic books/strips/commercial art) entirely!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder MERCHANTS OF VENUS Part 3


Charming, rougish (yet honest) tour guide Audree Walthers is engaged by a rich couple to visit (hopefully) untouched Heechee archeological sites on Venus, hoping to find artifacts.
(The Heechee were the inhabitants of the planet, but none are currently known to be alive, so their cities and habitats are considered "abandoned" and legally-salvageble!)
But, now that they're out checking out sites, things are about to take an unexpected turn...
So, much like our Don da Con, the "rich guy" isn't as rich as he claimed!
Will money truly be proven to be the root of all evil?
Betrayal?
Murder?
Mayhem?
Be Here
Next Wednesday
to Find Out in the Exciting Conclusion!

Gorgeous Goodies for Your Easter Basket!

Back in the 1940s and '50s, comic book companies produced a prodigious number of holiday-themed annuals and one-shots!
For example, a multitude of Christmas-themed comic books flooded America's magazine racks every November and December!
(In fact, a large part of our popular Cool Christmas collection is based on them.)
But, did you know that several publishers also did Easter-oriented books?
And, that noted comics illustrators including Walt (Pogo) Kelly contributed art to them?
Believing that there's always room for more classic comics collectibles, we at Atomic Kommie Comics™ added a new line of goodies to our Happy Holidays section entitled Exciting Easter!
Yes, it's eggs, bunnies, chicks, and other fuzzy animals galore digitally-restored and remastered from Baby Boomer-era classic comics covers on baby bibs, infant creepers / onesies, toddler and kid t-shirts, greeting cards, mugs, and a plethora of other kool kollectibles!
They make great Easter basket stuffers! (And they won't rot your kids' teeth like marshmallow chicks or chocolate bunnies!)
So click over and see what's in our basket!
