#comicsky #comicbooks Latest read: EC Archives the Complete Piracy (collects #1-7). Art featured Reed Crandall, George Evans, Graham Ingels, and Bernard Kriegstein in most issues, with decent but not spectacular stories. Art was great though, and I really enjoyed this one.

#pulps #Kubert Today's mail call-Out of this World Adventures Vol. 1 #1 the pulp from 1950 edited by Donald Wollheim. What made this of more interest to me is that it contained 2 Joe Kubert comic stories and an installment of Crom the Barbarian by Gardner Fox and John Giunta

Sox bite it hard vs. the Yanks,ending their roller coaster season. The beginning & the end were terrible but themiddle had a lot of twists, turns & excitement. Still a disappointing end-but it was a fun ride in places. I'd be excited for next year, but I'm skeptical we'll have baseball next season.

#comicsky #CimmerianSeptember #RobertEHoward On the last day of Cimmerian September, I am spotlighting an obscure REH based comic, published by Conquest Comics in 1992-Songs of the Bastard. It adapts a few of REH's spicy pulp tales. It's more interesting than good, but it exists.

#booksky #Burroughs #ERB My September Burroughs read (in just under the wire)-The Chessman of Mars (Book 5 of the Barsoomcycle). SO far, my least favorite of the Barssom books. Neither Tara nor Gahan are very likable, but ERB still managed to weave a weird adventure full of wonders with them.
