Migration To The Moon Space Western Comics #40
"The danger of the future migrations will not be from the Indians, those nomads of the plains.. but from meteors... nomads of space!"
Technically they are only meteors when passing through an atmosphere, in space they would be called either meteoroids or asteroids.
Spurs Jackson was a cowboy, rancher and electronic engineer who had adventures in space.
The Saucer Men
Strong Bow sees some flying saucers, but refuses to believe they are real.
Yeahhhhhh... (oddly enough, he's much smarter in a later story in the issue.)
The Martians wear helmets to protect them from the dense atmosphere of Earth, but the artist drew their outfits without shirts.
Well, maybe they just use a transparent fabric?
Korok brings Spurs and his men to Mars where Queen Thula, and the rest of the Martians, believe this means Korok has conquered Earth.
Wha...? I don't know about Mars, but on Earth it would take a bit more proof than that.
At one point Spurs is wearing an outfit with mask, presumably to help him with the thinner Mars atmosphere, but after that Spurs & his space vigilantes don't seem to have any trouble with the air.
Oddly enough, the usual party tricks of an Earthling on Mars is ignored in this story where they move just as they would on Earth.
Hank says, "No queen is going to be dethroned while I'm toting a pair of six guns!"
Yeah, because America got its start defending a monarchy. *rolls eyes*
Death From U-235
Spurs and Hank are captured and put on a ship for Venus.
Nothing like Venus in our universe, of course.
Page 5, Panel 8. the space ship's window is broken after crashing on Venus. On the next page they find some air helmets
Well, there must of been some kind of breathable air on Venus before they put on the helmets.
On Venus, Spurs and Hank capture two, winged, flying, mechanical horses and fly back to Earth in a few minutes.
Okayyyyyyyy...
The Creature From Dimension 2-K-31 The Thing #1
Page 2, Panel 6. Caption reads, "Dr. Riko, in his mathematics, forgot the Korean War..."
That's why I flunked math.
The battle area shows quite a few skeletons lying around.
Shouldn't they just be dead bodies? Doesn't it take time for flesh to be stripped from the bone?
Page 7, Panel 1. Caption "as it runs amuk".
I've always seen it spelled amuck, not amuk.
Grunwald
A ship covered in rats crashes on an island with a lighthouse. At one point the men in the tower wonder why it's so dark out when it should be daylight and it turns out the rats are covering the glass.
Wouldn't the weight of the rats on top crush the rats below?
Nightmare
Page 3, Panel 1. Hiram Crane thinks, "This is the fifth morning in a row, and a man has been sitting across from me..."
Across would mean across the aisle, the man is shown a bit down the bench Hiram is sitting on, which would be beside rather than across.
Later it's revealed that the man is dead so how did it stay in the seated position? The artist should have drawn him lying down.
The ending... what?
At the beginning Hiram is presented as a more or less normal guy who encounters a headless corpse, by the end he's the killer who had been decapitating people. What's more he leaps from the subway and hits the third rail, but he's not killed. His briefcase is found with shrunken heads and he's fully aware of what he's been doing despite how he was written earlier. Oh, and he's been decapitating people because his own head isn't attached to his body either.
What kind of drugs was the writer taking?
The battle area shows quite a few skeletons lying around.
Shouldn't they just be dead bodies? Doesn't it take time for flesh to be stripped from the bone?
Experiments done to document how bodies decompose, for law enforcement purposes, have revealed that scavengers like vultures can reduce bodies to bones in mere hours. However, when that happens, the bones end up disarticulated and scattered instead of staying together in recognizable skeletons.
Wouldn't the weight of the rats on top crush the rats below?
You mean the rats have climbed all over the lighthouse and completely cover it? In that case, wouldn't most of the rats support their own weight by clawing onto the stone or bricks of the walls?
You know, I probably should have posted a link to the issue online.
Oh well.
Yeah the skeletons were recognizable as skeletons, some still in their uniforms and a few still had hair.
You mean the rats have climbed all over the lighthouse and completely cover it?
The story is vague on that. All we see is the rats covering the glass. Although the glass would seem to be too smooth for rat handholds, so all the rats over the glass would be weighing down on the rats below, although whether it's on the ledge of the lighthouse or all the way down to the ground who knows?
Reptisaurus was... okay apparently after buying the rights to do a comic based on the movie Reptilicus, Charlton discovered that the film distributor didn't have the rights to license a continuing Reptilicus comic, so they changed the name to Reptisaurus and later changed his appearance.
An online copy.
Reptisaurus The Terrible Reptisaurus #3
Page 2, Panel . The caption starts off "From whence did these creatures come?"
*sound of head hitting desk* Whence means 'from where'.
Page 5, Panel 4. An alien calls another alien, "Harold".
Page 6, Panel 3. The caption reads, "Never before, on any planet, in any galaxy, had their weapons failed"
Problem is in the first panel it's said they come from Jupiter. So why go to other galaxies before conquering a planet in their own backyard?
Page 10, Panel 2. The caption reads, "10,000 mph... 20,000 mph... faster and faster... faster than the speed of light..."
The alien ship wasn't that far from Reptisaurus when it was ordered to ram, so how could it jump to such speed so fast?
Reptisaurus somehow survives being rammed by a spaceship traveling faster than the speed of light.
The story ends with Reptisaurus & family going into a cave "to sleep for another 100,000 years Or to die down there? Perhaps... but you readers in the 21st century, be warned, watch out for one day he may reappear"
Not if he sleeps for a hundred thousand years. Maybe people in 1021st century might have to worry... ;-)
Page 5, Panel 4. An alien calls another alien, "Harold".
So? The alien's name is Harold. What's wrong with that? 
Reptisaurus somehow survives being rammed by a spaceship traveling faster than the speed of light.
Quite a feat indeed, considering that such a collision would probably vaporise the entire Earth, with energy to spare.
So? The alien's name is Harold. What's wrong with that?
He's an alien! He should have an alien name with Q's & X's in it! Or, at least, give it an odd spelling like Haerr'ld to show some authorial creativity!*
Of course, one of the other readers on the Comic Book Plus Reading Group noticed an alien's name I missed... John. D'oh!
* I'm rereading some CrossGen titles and I realized that writer Barbara Kesel tended to do that. I was reading Meridian and there was a gal named Maraya. When trying to figure out how to pronounce that I realized that it was probably a rewritten Mariah. In Sigil she had a gal named Gaena which I realized should be pronounced Gina. She, at least, made an effort to hide the normalness of the names.
The comic site I mentioned has a few of things.
I mostly like to read the old anthology ones.
