No! What do you mean he has lost it?!?

He never had it in the first place.

Revealed at last, why the miraculous hidden MedBed in the "news" of late is being kept secret.

They seem to have a major side effect, and those who use it are taken... somewhere else.

Best Detective Magazine, January 1933.

Most of the covers for this magazine from Street & Smith were dull; however, this one, with a figure resembling a saint of crime sowing vice, followed by death, is impressive.

It’s like it’s an icon for a holiday that I’m not aware of.

Cover of Marvel Stories pulp magazine, November 1940 issue. Bold yellow title “Marvel” dominates the top, with “Fiction That Thrills” beneath it. The main art shows a pilot or equipment operator and a woman in a red dress, looking terrified, held by purple alien soldiers who approach from behind via a circular portal. The left side banner advertises stories inside, including “Queen of Venus” by John Russell Fearn and “The Man Who” by A. Fedor and Henry Hasse.

A black-and-white comic page titled Marvel Comics Presents, from the November 1940 issue of the pulp Marvel Stories. A short-short one page comic story featuring the Human Torch. The panels show the Human Torch, and the police commissioner discussing how to stop traitor organizations and “fifth column” threats. They investigate suspicious activity, receive a call from a squad car, and rush to join in. Instead of fifth column activity, they find that it's kids making a clamor to get the latest issue of "Marvel Comics".

I recently realized that the one-page promotional Human Torch comic in the pulp Marvel Stories Nov. 1940 contains a reference to the legendary Human Torch vs Submariner battle in Marvel Mystery Comics #9 (or more accurately, issues #8-10), which ended about 3 months prior.

I have to assume they don’t have a minimum drinking age in Riverdale in the 40s, or else that restaurant is breaking the law.

Cover of the January 13, 1885 issue of Journal des Voyages et des Aventures de Terre et de Mer, No. 914. The illustration for the featured story L’Amant de la Mort by Henri Coudreau shows a dramatic cliffside scene at sunset. A woman in a flowing black gown with long hair stands on a rocky outcrop, one arm raised in a commanding or mystical gesture. Below her, a bare-chested man with long hair, dressed in primitive or tribal attire and carrying a tomahawk, looks up at her in awe or fear. Rugged cliffs and a moody sky frame the tense moment. Caption below reads: “Elle l’arrêta d’un geste et, ce jour, elle parla.” ("She stopped him with a gesture and, that day, she spoke.")

L’Amant de la Mort
1895: A legend of the Kalina people of French Guiana, told by explorer Henri Coudreau

A son of one of their gods wished to live on Earth & became mortal. He fell in love with the spectral figure of a beautiful woman, realizing too late he was seeking Death herself #phantomsfriday

I guess you could say he had Post Train Shootout Disorder.

November 15, 1884 Police Gazette illustration titled "A Ghost on the Rail." An express messenger, startled and recoiling, fires a revolver at a spectral figure resembling a man in a wide-brimmed hat and long coat. The ghostly figure is semi-transparent and surrounded by gun smoke. Scattered money packages fly through the air, and a tipped-over chair emphasizes the shock of the moment. The caption below reads: "The apparition that haunted an express messenger who, in the line of his duty, killed a train robber."

The November 15, 1884 Police Gazette contains the story of Wells Fargo express agent Aaron Ross, who killed a would-be train robber near Monticello, California, and was thereafter said to be regularly haunted by the ghost of the man he killed, reenacting their gunfight. #phantomsfriday

Seems there is a Soviet-Cuban "Red" Western based on Mayne Reid's The Headless Horseman that came out in 1973.

Cover of Beadle’s Dime New York Library, Vol. I, No. 8, featuring the title “The Headless Horseman: A Strange Story of Texas” by Capt. Mayne Reid. The illustration shows a dramatic night scene of a cloaked, headless figure riding a horse across a barren landscape. The rider’s poncho covers the neck where a head should be, enhancing the eerie atmosphere. The sky is dark and ominous. The dime novel, published by Beadle & Adams, is priced at ten cents and marketed as "Complete in One Number."

NY Dime Library #8, 1878

The Headless Horseman
by Mayne Reid

Not inspired by Sleepy Hollow. Set in Texas in the aftermath of the Mexican-American War, this is inspired by Texas Ranger Creed Taylor's story of El Muerto, giving rise to the legend of a headless, spectral ghost rider. #phantomsfriday

Seen only once in Peter Canon Thunderbolt #60 this Charlton Comics hero has not been seen since.

“In a alternate future on a world where humor ,love, art, and positive emotions are crimes , One man decided to challenge this sad and warped way of life and become the hero known as the Prankster.”

As Robin stands in the middle seemingly freaking out the level about the discussion happening in front of him, Silver age Superman asks, “How did you know beaver’s weapon wouldn’t work, Batman?” Batman, replies, “I got a TELEPATHIC MESSAGE from an alien intelligence! I don’t know whether to trust it or not, but decided to take the chance!“

That's good, just wondering Batman, no reason, just wondering. When was the last time you got a full night's sleeps?

Once upon a time on the comics racks you could find bunches of comic books dedicated to the adventures of people famous for being well known.

If they still did this I wonder who would get a comic today, Ryan Seacrest? Leo Di Caprio? Madonna? Kanye West? Stephen Colbert? Taylor Swift? #fame

Found in the 4th and last issue of Johnny Law: Sky Ranger in 1955, I wonder if anyone sent in 25 cents, did they feel cheated and so decided to shun the aero-police and related ilk on being cheated, maybe not, but before you know it, it’s 1965 and kids are going crazy

I blame you Johnny Law!

Johnny Law: Sky Ranger, was a shot lived comic that appeared in 1955, Johnny and his side-kick were so squeaky clean you could have eaten off of them, but don’t do that because I’m pretty sure that would have been a major violation of the Comic Code of Disapproval in force by then.

And, being the year it was, both had to include Edd Byrnes, the tween and teen heartthrob of the time, famous for playing Kookie on 77 Sunset Strip and combing his hair a lot.

Check it out, proof of time travel.

That hand with its five fingers, including a weird pinky and something that is very much NOT a thumb, was clearly drawn by a time-traveling AI.

No human artist would draw a hand like that and find work.
