Gold Key Comics did come out with a great print run for <b>The Man from U.N.C.L.E. </b>tie-in comic book series. I am so glad to be able to present posts from this fun comic book series. This was one of my favorite TV series and comic books while I was growing up. I loved the photo covers and back cover pin-ups. <br />
<br />
I also grew up reading all of their adventures in hardcover and paperback, however, the only one I don't recall reading was the children's storybook. You know what, come to think about, there was <i><b>The Final Affair </b></i>(by fan favorite author David McDaniel) I finally came across not long ago that I have yet to read. <br />
<br />
It thrilled me to no end when the complete series DVDs came out, in a sweet collector's attache case packaging. Yes!<br />

<b>The Man from U.N.C.L.E. #1 </b><i>Spies! Guns! Intrigue! </i><br />
<i><b>"The Explosive Affair" </b></i><br />
Even Napoleon Solo needs some time for rest and relaxation, so when a beautiful young
woman named Daphne invites him to go water skiing, the hard-working
secret agent eagerly accepts her offer. But what Solo doesn't know is
that this innocent-seeming boating day will lead to another escapade of
international intrigue.<br />
After Daphne tries to lead Solo directly into a floating explosive mine,
he and director Waverly suspect she may be working for Thrush, the
international terrorist organization bent on world domination.<br />
Later
clues found at the London flat of Solo's old friend Tubby Finch lead him
straight into the middle of a secret Thrush operation off the coast of
West Africa.<br />
But can Solo and Illya Kuryakin survive the voodoo magic of the Mag
Mag Witch Doctors working for Thrush? <br />
Written by Paul S. Newman (<b>Yellow Submarine</b>) with art by Don Heck (<b>Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea</b>).<br />

Unfortunately, these comic book affairs have not been reprinted outside the Gold Key series, so I've been going back and recollecting the series. <br />

Additionally, there was a lot of marketing to go along with the TV series. Just in the field of publications, there was a great paperback series from Ace Books, a digest series (with notable authors such as John Jakes, Dennis Lynds & Bill Pronzini), a Big Little book (by <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">George S. Elrick)</span></span>, a couple of young adult books (by Brandon Keith), children's storybook (written by Walter Gibson, of The Shadow fame) and a terrific trade paperback (by Jon Heitland) all about the wonderful television show.<br />

Branching out to something different. I get into the independent comics a lot. But this time I'm going to mainstream DC Comics, even though I'm a Marvel Zombie from way back. One of the most popular in recent years is <b>Batman</b>'s nemesis <b>Harley Quinn</b>. I must admit, this is one of my guilt pleasures in the more recent age of comics. <br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
<b>Batman </b>long time nemesis was the Joker and his heartthrob was the precocious <b>Harley Quinn</b>. She<b> </b>took the world by storm with her first appearance as a character
in the <i><b>Batman: The Animated Series </b></i>television cartoon.<br />
<br />

<br />
What I have here is <b>Batman Adventures #12</b>,<b> </b>her
first appearance in the printed comics. She did not appear as a character in
the "real" DC universe until <b>Batman: Harley Quinn</b> the 1999 series
no number, six years later. <br />
<br />
So here we go with the fabulous, extremely sought after <b>Batman Adventures </b>DC comic book. <br />

The Charlton Comics version of <b>Captain Atom </b>was Allen Adam. Adam worked as a technician in a special
experimental rocket when it accidentally launched with him trapped
inside. He was atomized when the rocket exploded while entering the
upper atmosphere. However, Adam somehow gained superpowers that included
the ability to reform his body safely on the ground. He was outfitted in
a red and yellow costume that was designed to shield people from the
radiation of his nuclear powers. When Adam powered up, his hair changed to
a silverish-white.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, <b>Captain Atom #89 </b>marks the last issue of the most notable of the Charlton Comics action heroes. <br />

In the company of Dale Arden and Dr. Hans Zarkov, <b>Flash Gordon </b>embarked for the planet Mongo to encounter the menace of Ming the Merciless. <br />
<br />
That
was in the Sunday funnies in a page drawn by Alex Raymond and written
anonymously by former pulp-fiction editor Don Moore. This space opera
became one of King Features Syndicate's most popular features, and
Raymond's illustrative art was to have a strong influence on many of the
young artists who began drawing for comic books in the late 1930s and
the early 1940s—Tom Hickey, Sheldon Moldoff, Jack Lehti, George Papp,
Mac Raboy, Dan Barry, etc.<br />
<br />
<b>Flash Gordon </b>entered comic books early
in 1936 by way of reprints in King Comics. His battles with the
merciless Ming, a sort of galactic Fu Manchu, unfolded in the magazine
from the first issue.<br />

According to Mark Schultz in Flesk Publications <b>Al Williamson's Flash
Gordon, A Lifelong Vision of the Heroic</b>, this is one of Thomas
Yeates' first professional assignments and that Al Williamson inked
various panels. If you possibly can, you need to track this marvelous book down. It is a cherished book in my collection.<br />

One of my prized comic book collectibles is the magazine-sized Barry Windsor-Smith's <b>Gorblimey Press Catalogue</b>, from 1976. It's twenty three pages of simply amazing artwork! Needless to say, this was his own publishing company. <br />

If you go to his web site, <b>BarryWindsor-Smith.com</b>, some of the prints are still available for sale! The catalogue can be found online as well, although it can be pricey! I was fortunate to find mine at a local comic book store at an affordable price. It was also the first time I'd even seen a physical copy of one before. <br />

The Barry Smith's Tuppenny <b>Conan </b>illustration, from the catalogue, was used as the front and back covers of the <b>Marvel Comics Treasury Edition #4</b>. My all time favorite of the treasury editions. <br />

<b>Captain Atom #88</b> <i>The Ravage of Ronthor!</i><br />
<i><b>"Ravage of Ronthor"</b></i><br />
<b>Captain Atom </b>answers a centuries old SOS from Ronthor, an uninhabited world endangered
by giant insects.
<br />
Written by David A. Kaler (<b>Ghostly Tales</b>) with cover & interior art by Steve Ditko (<b>Mr. A</b>) & <span class="credit_value">Frank McLaughlin (<b>Judomaster</b>).</span><br />
Letters page replies by Dick Giordano (<b>Sarge Steel</b>).<br />
Origin of <b>Nightshade</b>, continued from last issue, written by Kaler with art by Jim Aparo (<b>Thane Of Bagarth</b>). This was concluded in the next issue of <b>Captain Atom</b>, which unfortunately was the last issue of this series. <br />

<br />
This issue's <b>Captain Atom </b>story was reprinted in DC Comics <b>The Action Heroes Archive Volume 2</b>. I highly recommend the nice hardcover collection. The coloring is not messed with as it was in the Conan hardcover reprints. <br />
<br />
If you are inclined to see the <b>Watchmen </b>movie, I would highly recommend the Director's Cut. It's fleshed out the movie quite nicely, much better than the movie theater version. <br />

The two last appearances of <b>Captain Atom </b>in Charlton Comics. The first cover is the last issue of the current series I've been featuring on this blog and the second cover is <b>Charlton Bullseye #7 </b>with <b>Captain Atom </b>brought to us by Dan Reed & Benjamin Smith. From there, he showed up in AC Comics prior to ultimately landing at DC Comics. <br />

In the grand scheme of things, there was no greater science-fiction hero than <b>Flash Gordon</b>, created and originally drawn by Alex Raymond.<br />
<br />
With the Gold Key series, Carlos Garzon came on board. He was an assistant to Al Williamson, who helped to redefine <b>Flash Gordon </b>in the comic books. Garzon was a highly talented transplant from Bogata as was the legendary Williamson. Garzon assisted on <b>Secret Agent X-9 </b>in the late sixties and moved to the U.S. in the early seventies. From there he worked with Warren and Gold Key. <br />

Finally, this issue was the last issue to be reprinted in the marvelous Dark Horse fine slipcased, hardcover edition of <b>Flash Gordon Comic-Book Archives Volume 4</b>. But don't despair, there was another great volume to follow.<br />

Garzon later teamed up with Al Williamson on the Marvel Comics adaptation of <b>Star Wars: Return of the Jedi </b>as well as some other <b>Star Wars </b>projects. <br />

I thought I'd do something a little different than I have before in my posts. Paperback covers! Jim Steranko is my all-time favorite comic book artist, which is not hard to image for most of you out there. His work on <b>Captain America, Nick Fury, Tower of Shadows </b>and <b>Our Love Story </b>were groundbreaking in comic books. He opened up a new way to cinematically illustrate and enjoy viewing comic books in a new vision.<br />

I thought I would go over a period of time in his career he ventured into paperback book covers. He did many covers for genres you'd expect to see him illustrate, pulp and science fiction. But he also did a few you may or may not have seen. What was great to me, was seeing him do painted covers! Gave me shivers of delight! <br />

I believe I may do a complete post on his <b>The Shadow </b>covers by themselves, since he completed so many in that wonderful reprint series.

This was a great time to be into the legend of Charlton Comics' <b>Captain Atom</b>. For me, this was some of my all-time favorite Steve Ditko comic book artwork. I loved his cover on this issue, powerful! <span class="credit_value">Rocke Mastroserio provided some of his best inks over Ditko's art in this story. </span><br />

This issue also brought us a fine David A. Kaler and Jim Aparo <b>Nightshade </b>back-up story, revealing the origin of <b>Nightshade</b>. There was some fantastic Aparo artwork here, I loved the way he brought in the color with the flashback sequences instead of a common black and white. <br />

So sad, so very sad, the end of another Charlton comic book series. What a great looking cover to go out with though! I love dinosaur covers and this is, by far, one of my favorites! <br />
<br />
"Another story I wrote was a stand-alone Sarge Steel story in the last issue of <b>Judomaster</b>.
I found out after I’d finished (drawing) part
one of a two-part Steel story that the issue
part one came out in was going to be the last
issue. I didn’t think it was a good idea to
put out a two-part story that nobody could read a
conclusion to, so I wrote and drew a new story over
the weekend to get it in on time. If you can find the
last issue of <b>Judomaster</b> that had a Sarge Steel back-up in it. That one was done by me."<br />
<i>From an interview with Dick Giordano by John Lustig (</i><b>Last Kiss</b><i>). </i><br />

This <b>Sarge Steel </b>story has only been reprinted in the Modern Comic <b>Judomaster #98</b>. It was an exact reprint of the Charlton issue <b>#98</b>, except for newer ads with different
cover copy (Modern Comics logo and a 35c cover price). The text article
(<i><b>"The Power of the Bow"</b></i>) was omitted.<br />

Unfortunately, Sarge has never had his own series at DC and doesn't seem likely to have one in the future. At the same time, it would be great to see a reprinting of his exploits in further volumes of DC Comics Action Heroes Archives, along with <b>Judomaster </b>and <b>Peacemaker</b>. <br />

Over the years, several publishers have produced <i>Flash Gordon</i> comics, either reprints or original stories. David McKay, Dell and Harvey Comics reprinted the classic Alex Raymond comic strips. King, Charlton and Gold Key (finishing under their Whitman imprint) Comics came along with exciting new stories and the major motion picture adaptation. <br />

It was great fun reading Charlton Comics, in particular, <b>Captain Atom</b> when he<b> </b>combined forces with the lovely <b>Nightshade</b>, the Darling of Darkness! I was already a big time <b>Captain Atom </b>fan, but he needed someone to lighten the mood and <b>Nightshade </b>was the perfect compliment.<br />

With the introduction of the Sunurians, in our latest Charlton Comics <b>Captain Atom </b>story here, we have a direct tie into a previously unfinished story by Steve Ditko. It was left unfinished for some time, until Roger Stern (under the pen name Jon G. Michels) and John Byrne completed it. We were graced with it in the first two issues of the hard to come by <b>Charlton Bullseye </b>fanzine series. <br />

<b>Captain Atom #86</b><br />
<i><b>"The Fury of the Faceless Foe"</b></i><br />
<b>Captain Atom </b>and <b>Nightshade </b>(her third appearance) once again take on The Ghost. How do you
capture a foe who disappears into thin air any time you get even
remotely near him?<br />
Introduction of <span class="credit_value">the Sunurians, to be seen in an unfinished story from Ditko, later completed by John Byrne (<b>Doomsday +1</b>) and finally published in <b>The Charlton Bullseye #1 & #2 </b>& subsequently reprinted in DC Comics <b>The Action Hero Archives Vol. 2</b>. </span><br />
Plot by Steve Ditko (<b>Man-Bat</b>), script by David A. Kaler (<b>The Witching Hour</b>) with cover and interior art by Ditko & <span class="credit_value">Rocco "Rocke" Mastroserio</span> (<b>Mysterious Suspense</b>).<br />

Private Eye, later Special Agent and finally Secret Agent, <b>Sarge Steel </b>first appeared in his own title, <b>Sarge Steel #1</b>, published by Charlton Comics. His title would last until <b>#8</b>, at which point, with issue <b>#9</b>, was retitled <b>Secret Agent</b>, and subsequently cancelled with <b>#10</b>. After that, his series continued in <b>Judomaster
#91-98</b> (the stories in <b>Judomaster #91-96</b> fit in the year-long hiatus, between
issues <b>Secret Agent #9 </b>& <b>#10</b>) He also appeared in short spots on self-defense, in <b>Fightin' 5 #34 </b>& <b>37</b> and in the <i><b>Sentinels </b></i>stories in <b>Peter Cannon, Thunderbolt #57 </b>& <b>58, </b>as their CIA contact.<br />

Personally, few comic strips and comic books (my first exposure to comics was in the newspapers) have captured my attention and imagination like <b>Flash Gordon</b>. Flash originated in 1934 by the legendary comic-strip artist Alex Raymond.<b> </b>He has set the bar for science-fiction adventure, even inspiring such modern-day classics as George Lucas' <b>Star Wars</b>.<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">As you can see here, legendary Flash Gordon artist Al Williamson influenced Carlos Garzon's amazing artwork on the Gold Key <b>Flash Gordon </b>comic book. Garzon went on to work with Williamson in the Marvel Comics <b>Star Wars </b>comic book. </td></tr>

For
more than seven decades, we have explored the stars in the sky with the
comics' most famous intergalactic adventurer <b>Flash Gordon</b>, his lovely female companion Dale
Arden and eccentric scientist Dr. Hans Zarkov.<br />
<br />
So, without further ado, sit back and enjoy Flash Gordon in action! <br />

Originally, an accident causes USAF Captain Nathaniel Adam to be trapped
within a missile which explodes in space, disintegrating and then reintegrating
him with the power of atomic energy. During the events from the last couple of issues, <b>Captain Atom</b>’s powers are lessened by his battle to control
a runaway nuclear reactor, leaving him prey to a mysterious gang of villains. He escapes from his captors and tries a new, spray-on
uniform to shield people from his deadly radiation.

<b>Judomaster #96 </b><br />
<i><b>"File #112 Conclusion of The Village Moneyman"</b></i><br />
Steel barely avoids being shot, returning fire and killing the
gunman, with his partner escaping. He drops by the
Daily Mirror to check out a theory of his, then he goes
to meet his lovely client Bebe Summins
at the location mentioned in the note. Thugs grab them at gunpoint, taking them to the mastermind of the operation, Frank
Jackson (also called Johnson), a crime syndicate big-wig that Steel thought
went straight. Jackson tells Bebe that as long as she does what
he says, he won't kill her father. Steel reveals to her that they killed
him three months earlier, after obtaining his plates, burning his body
in a fire. Jackson wanted the Treasury Department to believe Eric Summins
was behind the counterfeit operation. Steel gets the upper hand while Bebe
runs for a police officer. <br />

<b>Sarge Steel </b>has never had his own series at DC (who took over the rights to his character along with the other Charlton Action Heroes) and doesn't seem likely to
have one in the future. As a series-less denizen of a superhero
universe, you can expect him to be involved with government affairs.

<i>"Men shall die for this," he said coldly.</i><br />
<br />
Born into a 16<sup>th</sup> Century Puritan family in Devonshire, England, <b>Solomon Kane </b>had a
sense of wanderlust which lead him to the sea and foreign lands. Described as a somber and gloomy man of pale face
and cold eyes, all of it shadowed by a slouch hat, he set out into the world to fulfill his quest to destroy all
evil.<br />

Kane finds himself on the trail of the deliciously amoral French scoundrel Le Loup.
He has incurred Kane's red wrath for ravaging an innocent, young
English maid and leaving her behind for dead in a darkened glade, where he chances upon her and witnesses her dying breaths. In that darkened
glen, Kane makes a solemn, simple vow: Men shall die for this!<br />

It's a rousing tale of adventure and vengeance, highly satisfying! The
villain gets his just desserts and justice is served and unlike
vengeance, it is not a dish best served cold, but with white hot fury. <br />

Roy Thomas does a great job of adapting the
story. The pacing is nigh flawless and his captions and dialogue are
appropriately florid but terse, never descending into purple.<br />

Howard
Chaykin also does a fantastic job, still early
in his comic book career. His
indebtedness to Toth is obvious but he is already showing his own mastery of
the medium. It's incredible watching how he developed into the fine artist he has become, in such a short amount of time. <br />

To be seen in future issues, legendary Al Williamson provided stunning artwork for a Western Publishing adaptation of Dino De Laurentiis' <b>Flash Gordon</b>
film, written by the incomparable Bruce Jones. It was released by Western Publishing in
both hardcover and softcover formats to coincide with the film's
release, and was also serialized in three issues of Whitman's <b>Flash
Gordon </b>comic book, <b>#31-33</b>.<br />

<b>Flash Gordon #24</b> <i> Flash can't resist fighting his way into Ming's trap!</i><br />
<i><b>"The Coronation of Ming the Merciless"</b></i><br />
Flash knows that if he tries to rescue his friends he is playing right
into Ming's hands. <br />
Written by John Warner (<b>Bloodstone</b>) with art by Carlos Garzon (<b>Star Wars</b>). Easily some of Garzon's finest work channeling some magnificent Al Williamson. <br />
<i><b>"The Coronation of Ming the Merciless Part 2"</b></i><br />
Ming basks in all his glory, with Flash shackled beside him. <br />
Written by John Warner (<b>Doc Savage</b>) with art by Carlos Garzon (<b>Star Trek</b>).<br />

Just when you thought all hope was lost, the Captain is back! Bigger and bolder than ever! This is one of my all-time favorite issues of <b>Captain Atom</b>. Steve Ditko's splash page is nothing short of magnificent. These were good times to be reading Charlton Comics!<br />

For generations, humanity has been fascinated by the power and
destructive force of atomic weapons. Tapping into this, multiple comic
book publishers have featured heroes who have taken the name <b>Captain
Atom</b>. You may know about Nathaniel/Allen Adam, the Charlton and DC Comics hero who wields
incredible quantum power. <br />
<br />
All this and the second appearance of the all-new <b>Blue Beetle</b> (Ted Kord)! Along with a cameo by the original <b>Blue Beetle </b>(Dan Garrett). <br />

Today, we continue with further adventures of <b>Sarge Steel</b>. After a year long gap between the publication of <b>Secret Agent #9 </b>& <b>#10</b>, <b>Sarge Steel </b>appeared in <b>Judomaster </b>as a back-up feature.<br />
<br />
<b>Sarge Steel </b>was an agent in American Intelligence. His
employment with a couple of different agencies was a gradual one, as is
often the case. He certainly did not start out to be an agent but life
took him places and opportunities, or necessities, came about and he
ended up one very experienced operative.<br />
<br />
After his stint in the Army, he started a detective business. The
same skills he used to hunt down war profiteers he now used to track
people for civilian clients. He was pretty good at it, enough so that a
lot of those found or being sought would try again and again to
eliminate him but Steel's skills with martial arts, his prowess with a
gun, and his now pretty lethal left hook kept him alive.<br />

<b>Judomaster #95 </b><br />
<i><b>#File #112 Case of the Village Moneyman"</b></i><br />
Bebe Summins hires <b>Sarge Steel </b>to find her father, Eric Summins, a
counterfeiter who disappeared soon after leaving prison three months earlier.
She's received phone calls telling her to stop looking for him or else.
A man then attacks them, but Steel easily knocks him out. He brings
the girl to his secretary's apartment for safekeeping, then begins his
search. The next morning, two men from the Treasury Department are waiting
for Steel in his office. They remark that they heard he stopped working
for the CIA recently. He responds that he's back in business for himself
now, but he told the Agency that he'd help them out whenever they needed
him. The Treasury agents ask for his help in finding Eric Summins, who
they believe is making phony money again. Steel notes that some of Summins'
plates were never found. Later, at his secretary's apartment, he finds
a typewritten note from Bebe telling him to meet her later that night.
Based on the condition of the room, he concludes that she didn't leave
of her own accord. Two men watch from the window; one aims a gun at him. <br />
Written by Steve Skeates (<b>Hawk and the Dove</b>) with art by Dick Giordano (<b>Jonni Thunder</b>).<br />
The conclusion of this story appears in <b>Judomaster #96</b>.<br />
<b>Sarge Steel </b>villain "The Smiling Skull" appears in the <b>Judomaster </b>story in this issue. <br />

Unfortunately, this issue has not been reprinted, even Modern Comics skipped this issue. What a shame, I still wish DC Comics <b>Action Hero Archives</b> had continued with reprints of <b>Judomaster, Sarge Steel </b>& <b>Peacemaker</b>. After all, they were integrated into the DC Universe. <br />

The comics of Flash Gordon follow a handsome polo player and Yale University graduate, with his companions Dale Arden and Dr. Hans Zarkov. The story began with Earth threatened by a collision with the planet Mongo.
Dr. Zarkov invented a rocket ship to fly into space in an attempt to
stop the disaster. Half mad, he kidnaps Flash and Dale and they travel
to the planet. Landing on the planet, and halting the collision, they
come into conflict with Ming the Merciless, Mongo's malevolent ruler.<br />

<span class="blurbtext" id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_lblBlurbText" title="Description for this title"><b>Captain
Atom </b>debuted in Charlton’s <b>Space Adventures #33</b>, an early entry into
the Silver Age super-hero revival. Despite lean and gutsy art by Steve
Ditko, However, the comic book could not survive Charlton’s mediocre scripting and
so sank into obscurity. The strip was reprinted in <b>Strange Suspense Stories </b>and later revived in this series under the editorship of Dick Giordano, who brought back Steve Ditko, along
with Denny O’Neil and Jim Aparo.</span><br />

<b>Sarge Steel </b>was an American veteran of the Vietnam War who became a
detective, in the vein of Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer, after returning to the United States. Years of experience made
him a hardboiled private eye of some reputation. He somehow also got
involved in "spy cases," and attracted the attention of the CIA, who
subsequently employed him to work for their agency. Thus, Steel soon
became a "Special Agent," first showing up on the cover of issue <b>#6</b>. The title <b>Secret Agent </b>came later.<br />

<b>Judomaster #94 </b><br />
<i><b>"File 111 Case of the "Devil's Wife Part II"</b></i><br />
Steel and Ambassador Bruyden (called Bluyden) escape from Santana
(called Satana) and her men. Chained to Bruyden's wrist is a booby-trapped
briefcase containing many important documents, the two men are able to
reach Santana's house and contact the FBI. Santana and her army arrive
soon afterward. Steel grabs Santana as the FBI chopper appears. Barely
avoiding enemy fire, he and Bruyden make it to the chopper with their
captive and escape from the island. <br />
Written by Joe Gill (<b>Doomsday+1</b>) with art by Bill Montes (<b>Fightin' 5</b>) & Dick Giordano (Stephanie Starr from<i><b> Star*Reach</b></i>).<br />
