Xenorama #50 is a go-go!

 

We are celebrating the 55th anniversary of my favorite Godzilla movie, Destroy All Monsters.  It just so happened to fall on the 50th issue spectacular of Xenorama, so we are presenting a rare full color issue and a black and white issue.  The covers are different, and there are slight differences inside the book itself (pictures, the text is all the same).  I am very happy with the whole issue.  The usual gang of geniuses has contributed to the issue, and these articles are amazing.  The color edition is on sale now (though it has a slight typo on the cover at the moment, which is being taken care of, so if anyone purchases it now they will have a collectable) and the black and white edition should be available soon.

HOTW- Ultraman

 

Ultraman, a monster fighter from the Nebula M78, crashes into Hayata's VTOL and mortally wounds him.  Ultraman transfers his life force into Hayata.  Together they battle monsters and aliens intent on harming the Earth.  It is a good thing Ultraman is around, as the planet is besieged by all of the above on a regular basis.  It is also a good thing the Science Patrol is around as well.

The mysterious dinosaur poem

 

Here is something I created in October of 1972.  I am thinking I did not write the actual poem, but I have never seen it anywhere else.  I did do the drawing of the theropod, in all its tail dragging glory.  I am quite sure it was supposed to be a Tyrannosaurus rex, but it does look like it has three fingers, which would make it something else.  Be that as it may, it has been framed for a long time.  Gotta love mothers who think everything their kid does is worthy of existing forever.

Sven- Curse of the Werewolf (1961)

 

Leon, born of a rape, is cursed to be a werewolf.  IHe was also born on Christmas Day, which is bad luck with some people.  He falls in love with an upper class woman and cannot marry her.  He seems a pretty nice fellow, though.  The local priest is the expert on lycanthropy, and informs Leon's foster parents what is going on.  He tells them love is the only cure, but alas, Leon is denied his true love, Christina.  This leads to him becoming a werewolf for the final time before being shot by a silver bullet fired by his father.  The end.

The Adventures of Sinbad, Jr.

 

This fun if inconsequential series ran in syndication starting in 1965.  I saw various episodes on the local kid show Noel and Andy.  It was rare, and I am a bit surprised I ever remembered it.  It was the magic belt though, that stayed in my mind.  It also was something that many of my grade school friends remembered.  It was a pretty cool gimmick.  I didn't remember the wisecracking parrot at all, nor any individual episodes.

Moon Girl 01- Landing

 

Incredibly smart 13 year old Lunella Lafayette opens a time portal in her super secret subway lab and brings Devil Dinosaur into the present time.  She is supposed to be the smartest person in the world, but doesn't know what a tape recorder is.  Anyway, she and Devil Dinosaur decide to be superheroes, and with the "help" of new pal Casey, they eventually succeed.  Casey is the PR specialist, you see, and makes Moon Girl and Devil heroes on social media.  The problem now is Aftershock, another electrical based hero who needs power to stay awake.  She has chosen the Lower East Side (because everything is in NYC) as her feeding ground.  Much like Livewire in the DCAU, water is her nemesis.  Moon Girl has to ground her, which takes away Aftershock's powers.  All is well, though how does MG's family not recognize her?

HOTW- Miss Black Fury

 

From the wiki-

The character's real identity is wealthy socialite Marla Drake. She has no innate superpowers, but gains increased strength and speed when she dons a special skintight catsuit when fighting crime. The panther skin was bequeathed to her by her uncle, who said that it was used by an African witch doctor in voodoo ceremonies.^[4]  She was originally the Black Fury, then when the comic strip was turned into a comic book they changed her name.  I like the original better, but I suppose the times were what they were.  She fought nazis and mad scientists.
