Call Him "Merciless"! Call Him...MING!
As part of the Great Movie Villains Blogathon, We chose to do...
..the guy lovingly-referred to as "Merciless"
on our "brother" RetroBlog Secret Sanctum of Captain Video...but as a multi-part post, since he appeared in several movie serials (as well a a feature film)!
Part 1 is HERE!
Part 2 is HERE!
Part 3 will be posted Tuesday
Part 4/Conclusion will appear on Wednesday!
Don't miss it.
You'll piss-off Ming, and he ain't called "Merciless" for nothing!

Best of Reading Room: "Monster God of Rogor"
Heroic Archeologists in torn shirts!
Scantly-clad Princesses!
Terrifying Monsters!
And, it's illustrated by Wally Wood!
I really should charge for entertainment this good...
Yeah, I know every blogger and his brother has run this tale.
But it's so damn kool, I just had to get it into the Atomic Kommie Comics™ archives.
The art for this tale from Youthful Publications' Captain Science #1 (1950) is signed by Wally Wood, and the inking is pure Woody.
But, it looks like he had assistance on pencils, perhaps by Joe Kubert.
The writer is unknown.

Best of Reading Room: 3-D: ADVENTURES INTO THE UNKNOWN "Nightmare"
You won't need red/blue 3-D glasses to read today's 3-D comic story, thanks to...
All the benefits!
None of the headaches (except for the artist who had to illustrate it)!
And now, on with today's story, the cover feature from ACG's Adventures into the Unknown #51 (1953)...
The extensive use of Craftint for backgrounds, background objects, and shading is a clever idea, but I can see how it would become visually-irritating on an ongoing basis.
Art by Harry Lazarus, one of a trio of siblings (including Sid and Leon) who all ended up writing and/or illustrating comic books during the 1940s-1960s.
(They are not related to Mell Lazarus, writer/artist of the comic strips Miss Peach and Momma, who also worked in comic books in the 1950s.
Small world, ain't it?)
BTW, for another TrueVision tale, pop over to our "sister" blog True Love Comics Tales™!
