3-Day Weekend Matinee: Day The Third

I've got too many exclamations points laying around unused. Time to unload some!

Welcome back to our 3-Day Weekend Matinee!
Three Thrilling Tales!!!
Our 3rd chapter of Oskar Lebeck & Alden McWilliams' classic Twin Earths!
The return of Joe Kubert's Son Of Sinbad!!
The concluding chapter of Bob Powell's Vic Torry And His Flying Saucer!!!
Oh, the excitement! (Most of which comes from finally managing to connect and post this to the queue. Weather warming up again, and net connection failing. Oh, the joys of living outside the city!)

Okay... I think we used up a fair bit of our surplus - On With The Show!


Twin Earths - Chapter 3:
Previously on Twin Earths: Vana, an agent from Terra, has revealed the existence of her world to government agents of the United States. Occupying the opposite position on the same orbital path as Earth, Terra is scientifically more advanced than Earth, and poses a great potential danger - if she can convince the men in charge...

To Be Continued...

If you missed it, we recently took a quick look at Son Of Sinbad from Joe Kubert back in 1950. Here's another tale from that lone volume -


And, now - the exciting conclusion of Vic Torry And His Flying Saucer!




While looking for background information, i found that not only has Vic Torry's tale been reprinted in recent years, but Atlantis put out a 5" model of his flying saucer!


Nice to see some of those old lost strips being remembered. If you're interested in the model, here's their web page for it.
