Wednesday Worlds of Wonder DONNA MATRIX "Zero & One" Part 2

We Have Already Seen...

A masochist incel buys a sexbot, but discovers it has a variation of Issac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics programmed into it so it can't do anything painful to him.
Going on-line, he buys a software package to mod it into a "naughty" girl, but discovers the app transforms her into a killer!

Next Wednesday!

Written and 3-D modeled by Mike Sanetz, laid-out and illustrated by Norm Dwyer with additional 3-D modeling by Joseph Allen, Reactor Comics' Donna Matrix "Zero & One" (1993), was the first issue of the projected 100% CG 3-D rendered comic book series by Mike Saenz, creator of previous partially-computerized comic books such as Shatter and the Marvel graphic novel Iron Man: Crash.
It never went past the first issue owing to the comic industry experiencing an industry-wide downsizing.
Saenz also created Virtual Valerie (the first 3-D rendered comptuer porno game) and the video game Spaceship Warlock.

Reading Room STRANGE STORIES OF SUSPENSE "Man of Mystery"

Here's a never-reprinted tiny tale about a tiny man...
...specifically, a miniature man of metal, from Atlas' Strange Stories of Suspense #5 (1955)!
The illustrator of this tale of a bionic blabbermouth was highly-unappreciated Golden Age/Silver Age workhorse Sud Shores, though the teller of the tin terror's tale is, regrettably, unknown!
Trivia: Though this was #5, it was actually the first issue of Strange Stories of Suspense, since the first four issues were called Rugged Action...

...featuring manly men performing manly feats of derring-do in various venues...which apparently didn't sell well enough to keep the book going in that format!
OTOH, Strange Stories of Suspense continued though #16 until a change in newsstand distributors in 1956 reduced the amount of titles Atlas Comics could distribute per month!

Monday Mutant Madness MECHANIX ILLUSTRATED "How Nuclear Radiation can Change Our Race"

From Fawcett's Mechanix Illustrated V49N8 (1953)...

...a cautionary tale about mutants produced by exposure to atomic radiation...written by Otto Binder and illustrated by Kurt Schaffenberger!
Did it help inspire Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Werner Roth, and Vince Colletta in creating this sequence in Marvel's X-Men #14 (1965)?
You tell us!

What Do Trumpettes Talk About When They Wait in Line to Get Into a Rally?

Likely something like this...
...and this!
Both these two-page spreads are from Charlton's Hee Haw comics derived from the syndicated TV series.
These examples of the show's humor were written and illustrated by Frank Roberge and based on an ongoing skit featuring the entire cast (plus guest stars) in a cornfield popping up and doing jokes and one-liners!
The TV show ran a surprising twenty-six seasons from 1969 to 1995, though the comic only lasted for seven (never-reprinted) issues!

Space Hero Saturdays STAR HUNTERS Intro and "Part 1: The Farrell Alternative"

In the mid-1970s, tv/movie sci-fi experienced a revival...
...and comics, as they had done since the late 1940s, jumped on the pop culture bandwagon!
But, instead of doing adaptations of popular shows like Space: 1999 (Charlton), or movies like Star Wars (Marvel), DC decided to do a couple of original series using talented, young, up-and-coming creatives.
One of them was The Survivors...I mean The Outcasts...er, make that Donovan Flint: StarHunter...or finally, The Star Hunters!
Here's the explanation of how the project came about, from DC Super-Stars V2N18 (1977)...
And now, from that never-reprinted issue...
