Villain of the Week- Warlock
From Wiki- Episode 3 introduces Warlock, who is said to be the "Master of Martian
Magic," although his Martian origins seem to be more of a contrivance
added to the English dub; whatever Warlock's origin, he is established
as a student of some kind of magical school who runs away to Earth after
being punished for getting drunk on prune juice. The last major team
member is a magician named AjiBaba of Abbadon, from the desert of the
eastern hemisphere who debuts in episode 4 as an arch-enemy of Warlock,
who attacked his country. Many of the episodes involve battles with
Warlock until episode 30, when Krag from the planet Kragmire banishes
(throws) Warlock into the depths of space and becomes Prince Planet's
major nemesis until the end of the series. Warlock finally returns in
the second-to-last episode of the series.

I sure wish this magazine had gone on for several years. Alas, the timing was a bit off, and the internet didn't help.

The Psychedelic Furs - Heartbreak Beat
This is probably my favorite P Furs (as we called them back in the day) song. Sure, it is a bit overproduced, but those lyrics...
968. The clever Kong Kong Show 03 review!
Seven more segments of this fun 60s show. Lots of Dr. Who in these episodes!

This is the first time we see Calvin and Hobbes interact with the toaster. They figured it out later on, though.

The Invisible Boy 1957
From Wiki- The Invisible Boy, a.k.a. S.O.S Spaceship, is a 1957 black-and-white American science fiction film from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, produced by Nicholas Nayfack, directed by Herman Hoffman, and starring Richard Eyer and Philip Abbott. It is the second film appearance of Robby the Robot, who memorably appeared the previous year in MGM's Forbidden Planet. Back to me:

This is another crossover from the Shaws, trying to get more of their generally excellent product into the wide world.
