Wally Wood Sure Knew How to Draw Sci-Fi Comics

Nobody knew how to draw bug-eyed monsters
better than Wally Wood.

These wonderful pages are from the 1950 Ziff-Davis
comic book, Amazing Adventures #1

"Winged Death on Venus" was drawn by Wallace Wood during his peak years as a science-fiction comic book artist. But unlike his more famous stories for EC Comics, this tale is much more of an old-fashioned-style space opera, complete with the full assortment of monsters, aliens, beautiful women, rocket ships and ray-guns. The winged men in particular are a love poem to Alex Raymond's Flash Gordon of the late 1930's.

Alas, the resolution on the large-sized versions of these pages isn't as good as I would like, but they were the best scans I came across. As usual, CLICK on the images below to see the larger sized pages. Enjoy the Woodwork!

Wow! I just discovered another cool blog with TONS of oddball, long-out-of-print music downloads, and the first thing I see is this crazy Popeye record! Click on the record cover to get to the download page!

These records are like radio cartoons; Full cast and original soundtrack music and storylines created just for these records. Remember those? It's like animation for the blind.

Thanks Tony!



Each one of these records will take you to a different blog post on the "Way Out Junk" blog.

If there's more than one download link on the page, I recommend clicking on the second link of the set. When I tried to download these, sometimes one of the links was dead. But there was always an alternate link that did the job.

Get these while they last!




By the way, these are for the most part original cast members like June Foray, Bill Scott and Paul Frees (Rocky and Friends), Jack Mercer and Mae Questel (Popeye and Olive Oyl) doing the songs and stories on these records. This is primo stuff!


PS: There's even more of this kind vinyl cartoon rarities at WFMU and at a wonderful site about old kids' records called Kiddie Records. Isn't the internet great?
