Wednesday Worlds of Wonder RAUMPATROUILLE "Invasion" (It's the same in English and German!)

These guys are smiling right now...

...but not for long, as we reach the apocalyptic series finale (yes, finale)!

The energy-based aliens known as "Frogs" make their move against Earth, using traitors from within to disable Space Command!
It's all-out war, and you, space cadets have a ringside seat!
Enjoy!

Note: We've tried to embed the English subtitles, but if they don't come up automatically, go to the "gear" icon on the lower right of the video screen, and set them manually.)
We'll be back next week with a detailed look at some of the unique aspects of the series.

Lunar Reading Room / Tales Twice Told STRANGE GALAXY "Moon is Red"

In the late 1960s-early 1970s, numerous b/w comic magazines popped up...

...to publish risque older material the Comics Code Authority banned from color comic books from the mid-1950s onward!

Despite being drawn in 1970, this tale from Eerie Publications' Strange Galaxy #V1N8 (1971) has the feel of a 1950s tale, which isn't surprising since Eerie both reprinted stories from defunct publishers when they could find photostats/printing film or re-illustrated stories using old scripts nearly verbatim when they couldn't.
In fact, this story's script is adapted from a tale in Avon's Strange Worlds #4 (1951) called "A Nation is Born", which we'll re-present Thursday so you can compare them!
BTW, this issue, despite being #8, was actually the first issue under that title.
What it was before then is unknown, since the publisher did numerous titles in various categories including astrology, romance, crime, etc.

"Oswal" was the pen-name of Osvaldo Walter Viola, an Argentinean writer/artist who began his career in the early 1960s creating Argentine's first super-hero, Sónoman.

His only American comics work was for Eerie Publications' titles.

Monday Mecha Madness SHOGUN WARRIORS "Many Heads of Cerberus" Conclusion

 We Have Already Seen...

After winning their first battle as a team, the three Shogun Warrior pilots return to their civilian lives, including jobs, families, and friends!

But it doesn't take long for a new threat to emerge...

Next Month, A Second Threat appears and Dangard Ace Enters the Battle!

There Will be a Different Robot Featured Next Week!

Written by Doug Moench, penciled by Herbe Trimpe, and inked by Mike Esposito, this initial chapter into the next story arc in the Shogun Warriors saga from Marvel's Shogun Warriors #7 (1978) introduces a different threat than the alien Myndai led by Maur-Kon...but is linked to them, as you'll see!

Football + SuperHeroes = SuperPro!

35 years ago, Marvel and the NFL teamed up to produce...

...a football-themed superhero!

...who, despite meeting a couple of Marvel's best-known heroes...

...lasted only 13 issues, then disappeared into obscurity!

Due to licensing restrictions, NFL SuperPro will never be reprinted or offered as an e-book!

However, when you can find copies, they're usually pretty cheap, like the one below...

Space...Hero??? Saturdays PLANET COMICS "Cosmo Corrigan and the Cosmic Chorus Girls!"

What do you do when you want to heat up a planet that's colder than America's MidWest in February?

Cosmo Corrigan has the answer...cosmic chorus girls!

Sady, Cosmo never got back to Pluto!

He wasn't in the next issue of Planet Comics, nor would he reappear anywhere else in the known universe.
His fate remains a mystery...
Written and illustrated by Seymour Reit (who later co-created Casper the Friendly Ghost), Cosmo's final tale appeared in Fiction House's Planet Comics #11 (1941).
But don't think this is the end of our winter-inspired posts!

There's more frigid fun to come!
