Reading Room BLAZE BARTON "and the Bat Men of Venus"

The World of the Future ain't exactly a fun place...

...but will the Venusians be friends...or foes?

Oddly, Earth seems to have moved backwards in time since the previous story was set in 50,017, not 3000!

The writer of this tale from Quality's Hit Comics #2 (1940) is unknown (and may not even be the first story's scripter), but the artist was Henry Kiefer, a craftsman with over 400 comics stories and covers from 1935 to 1954 including numerous Classics Illustrated adaptations.

Reading Room BLAZE BARTON "and the World of the Future"

You think global warming is bad now, wait until 50,020 AD...

...when only Blaze Barton and his scientist friend Prof Solis stand between mankind and total annihilation!

Though the Core-Men remained an ongoing threat, the strip quickly changed emphasis to outer space as Blaze and associates began traveling to other worlds.

You'll see his entire 13-story run on this blog over the next few months.

While the writer of this premiere tale from Quality's Hit Comics #1 (1940) is unknown, the artist was Henry Kiefer, a craftsman with over 400 comics stories and covers from 1935 to 1954 including numerous Classics Illustrated adaptations.
