artist thank you very much for the tier one sub uh appreciate it so sometimes you have to wait but gram oh hey how are you doing how are you doing so gang should we take a little poll which one should we read which uh which comic are you guys into reading today we got i'll give you the lowdown but um i'll also uh say what each comic is when we start the reading right i'm worried about the comic bookstore i think we have the biggest local comic bookstore in the country but i'm still worried about them yeah gram my guess is there's going to be some uh folding of unfortunately i think some comic book stores are going to close up uh which is which is really sad to see actually and we're seeing a major shakeup in the comic book industry uh dc comics just announced a few weeks ago that they're not going to be exclusive with diamond distributors anymore so i think i whoops i think this is going to be a positive thing uh we're seeing the distributor i guess we're seeing a second phase of the distributor wars where we're getting rid of one monopoly right so we'll see how things play out it might be an amazing time to open up a comic bookstore if certain comic book stores fold in your area okay phoenix how are you doing hey chicho and chichonians definitely alarming tales definitely alarming tales and this has the ant-mat prototype okay this is the major story the one we want to read for sure and we're going to read some of the other ones is by al williamson and angela torres and it's the first ant-mat prototype the adam age combat it's the artwork is by dick hares so they're both giants that have been working on both of them right i vote adam age so we got one vote per right now okay randall how are you doing hello all how are you doing chicho and what are you snacking on i'm not snacking on anything when i'm reading comic books in general i don't have food with me i do have tea think about it i do have my tea and i got a little bit of water because i got black tea and it's with ginger this time no mint okay but i keep liquids far away from my comic books so i try to protect these as best as i can right i don't i don't take any risks when it comes to comic books uh and no food i had a nice big cereal this morning got to be alarming tales we got two votes for alarming tales thanks graham for the vote i think i think you do a poll in stream we should definitely look into like yeah we should look into that actually actually yeah we can do a poll in the streams you know what for the next comic book reading i'll have a poll up where people can vote okay case man how are you doing welcome welcome oh my god russ what's up case man i vote alarming tales so we got so far we got three alarming tales one the adam age combat ginger is my to go to yeah ginger randall i agree with randall ginger tea is amazing okay we got four votes for alarming tales two votes for adam age i vote alarm five votes for alarming tales so alarming tales is is getting ahead okay and we read this today we read this tomorrow okay so what i'm gonna do i'm gonna hook up my external mic okay just tape it down and make sure there's going to be no loose connections or whatnot so it doesn't go you know it's a little bit i need an upgrade to this but with tape it works okay so i'm gonna lock this up and so far we got five to one for alarming tales and i've uh i've actually i couldn't hold off when i got the comic book when i found out that the alarming tales was the ant-map prototype i did read the ant-map prototype story i was very excited about it and i'll give you i'll give you guys a little lowdown when we do the recording um and i'm gonna read you a little thing that i've read before i believe when i was giving the intros to these because these were choices that we had for reading as well right previously but i'll read them again just so people get a feel for the importance of this book it's kind of interesting that you are recording the audio it's like an old school radio science science file that's exactly gram that's exactly the feeling i'm i'm gonna be shooting for right i should have maybe recorded this section of it as well but i think uh what i want to do because i don't want to cut back on my editing process right what i want to do is just upload the reading part of it but i think next time i'm gonna record from the beginning of the stream um because the audio is not uh consuming too much power on my computer to just cut out the beginning part of it but we are going to be uploading the video of this to pitch you to youtube so this is uh you know we have sort of layers happening redundancy happening which is a great thing to do when we're talking about decentralization right so what should we do gang should we go alarming tales we got five to five to two five to two last we got i'll give you whoever wants to read whichever one it is right so far we've got alarming tales winning right but if you get a whole bunch of adamage we read this one first today and this one tomorrow a couple more minutes and we're gonna go with whichever one gets the highest vote right we'll just give everyone a little bit of time to roll in to the stream because i don't think anyone wants to miss the beginning of the reading of this right adamage combat we've got three for adamage what's the audio word for visage i don't know what do you mean oh my god you and your riddles you throw me off so much i have to decipher some of the stuff you're saying so we got three alarming tales uh and six adamage uh sorry we got yeah three uh six alarming tales and three adamage soundscape soundscape visage really grand that's interesting fun fun fun should we do okay gang we're going alarming tales uh atom age combat and you know what from the comic books we listed at the beginning at the beginning where we're gonna you know we had a selection of a whole bunch of things to read i really wanted to my first choice was the was the love one that we read the romance comic that we read right my second choice was adamage combat just so you know where i stood on it i'm very curious to see what this is all about and this one because i had read it uh it wasn't in the top two for me but i guess this one alarming tales was my first one because it was the amap prototype and i read it it's rare that i read a comic book unless i've already read it way before when we're doing uh when i started doing comic book readings right we've done some readings a fair bit of readings of comic books that i have read in the past right but if i know i'm going to do a comic book reading during the stream i don't read the comic book um before i shoot the video or before we do the stream okay are there any legal percussion show uh showing full comic panels in a stream and not that i've encountered so far big see but i can tell you this all the comic book readings that i've loaded up from marvel dc uh saint john's uh golden age comics valiant comic all of these comics that i've uploaded right comic book readings that we've uploaded in the last six years how many years have i've been doing comic book readings i don't know all of these comic book readings have been uploaded i've never been hit with a copyright claim i've never had been hit by any creator saying hey uh with with one exception any creator saying hey or any publishers coming up to me saying you can't do this uh don't do this because i consider this promotion for the books i i can't tell you and i've lost track of how many people have contacted me saying chichou thank you very much for doing these comic book readings i wasn't a comic book reader collector and i started reading comic books because of your comic book readings i can't tell you how many people have had contact me saying oh my god i had never read that story before thank you very much that was a fantastic story i started collecting going back and buying these comic books because of this reading i've even had creators of comic books okay joshua disart one of my favorite writers at present right now and for the last since 2012 when valiant comics came on the scene joshua disart was one of the first writers that started working for valiant comics we did a reading of death of fall of harbinger okay book of death fall of harbinger which was joshua disart writing and i forget who the artist was and stuff like this right and joshua disart the writer of the comic book commented that it was a fantastic reading was very meditative and he said thank you very much for doing this and i was like a fanboy i was like oh wow i can't believe you commented thank you i'm glad you liked it it was a pleasure it was a fantastic book and everything right however i did one reading of an independent creator their comic book because i came across it at a friend's place when i've gone to a festival on the island here and she had these comic books from these creators and they're amazing they were very good comic books beautiful artwork and stuff i did the intro for the comic book and all that jazz and i read the comic book and then i had the creator contact me saying hey you're violating our rights and stuff like this take that comic book down right i was like what i said listen dude i've had because after we did that reading people are like oh where can i get this comic book i never heard about this comic book it was totally independent underground comic book right i said look man like this is more promotion than anything right like people have contact me saying oh this is a great reading they're trying to find your books and then i sent the email to them and the person i'm not sure if you replied or not initially and then i waited a couple hours and i just felt a little disgusted of an independent creator not appreciating an in another independent creator sharing the love of something they had created right because their their issue was you read that whole comic i was like dude i showcased four other i think it was four other comics that they had published right mentioning to people in that in that reading that hey you guys should go get these comics because they're really good right uh so i didn't even wait for the guy to reply i took it down and i will never ever read a comic book from them again and i will never ever buy a comic book from them again if any creator holds on to these making mouse wild disney uh instigated copy archaic copyright laws that are taking information readings uh things that should be coming into the public domain out of the public domain as far as i'm concerned they can kiss my ass okay uh i don't care what they produce i'm going a little hard on this but because of all these censorship and copyright and people being the platform i'm i'm a very adamant against supporting any creators any writers any publishers any company that prevents people from enjoying art okay that's my take and i can honestly tell you if we get any copyright any infringement stuff from any publisher i will stop reading all their books okay i will stop buying their books i will stop pulling their books and we will definitely stop reading their books okay because they're amazing amazing comic books produced during the golden age of comics that we could do readings for for 50 years really we could do readings for one a week for 50 years and never have to read the same comic again and there'll be thousands upon thousands of additional comic books that we could read that we didn't read in the comic book readings uh that's my take okay uh it's time for me it's time to sort of be a little bit more hard about this stuff who's really looking most of these people are dead yeah the companies want their copyright claims right newer comics sort of but old stuff not really um yeah newer comics like i did the reading for the new valiant comics right because i love those comics because valiant comics people weren't aware of them right because the big two you know do so much marketing and it's it's the you know bread and butter for the comic book retailers but the independent creators are some of the best comic book stories that you'll find right spider-man worst case if he re-uploads on youtube he gets acclaimed by the company but only with brand new stuff yeah and even brand new stuff i think it should be part of the public domain to a certain degree we should be able to do this right like one person contacted me saying oh you did the batman reading the venom reading that elder god really likes right that's how we found our channel right when we did the the venom story arc for batman when he was taking the steroids and stuff like this that batman story arc the five issues is one of my favorite batman reads story arcs ever right and someone contacted me saying hey aren't you infringing on copyrights for i go look dude batman has thousands of stories out there if you take that batman reading it's like taking a five second clip out of a two-hour movie and sharing it right it's promotion for batman for dc and that's the way i look at it nicky hicky is up guys nicky here ready for some comics what's up brother amen love the comic stream awesome uh blundin what what reading dice art yeah nicky icky when dice art left a comment on that valiant uh fall of blood a fall of harbinger reading i was i was pretty pumped man i was pretty pumped only cares about the money and as far as i'm concerned if you're an independent creator that you only care about the money you're you're you sold out before you created anything the greed the greed the greed let me know chicho case man hell yeah tell them chicho and by the way i had people contact me after i took down the video saying hey chicho you had a it was a story about witches and esoteric stuff and chicho you had a comic book reading about a witch it was this this it was really good but i can't find it anymore i told them this i go the artist wanted me to take it down um so i'm not i'm not supporting them at all okay my mickey mouse gift just got a shout out nice other kind i hope valiant is aware of the very real chicho uh pump uh bump i maybe but i know a lot of people have jumped on to the a fair number of people have jumped on to valiant comics because of the videos and the readings and just me talking about valiant comics a lot i became a frantic valiant lover it started at chicho ah nice mickey awesome how much did these comics cost ah good question on charter days the adam age combat okay i bought these in the last year let's say this one it's graded at good minus okay i paid 1150 for the adam age combat 1150 canadian uh 18 uh eight dollars and 15 20 cents 25 cents us okay the adam age combat graded at good minus and it was a great deal fantastic deal the alarming tales okay it's graded at good very good i believe yeah good very good and i ended up paying a fantastic deal okay 850 canadian for this 630 us for this okay great deal at map prototype uh lots of amazing creators on here i jumped on valiant just before locked up i love their work yeah awesome on charter days awesome let's do the reading gang let's do the reading let me take this down serious question popped up during the valiant uh during the intro to this right let me turn the song let me turn the song and i'm gonna take down the chat on the screen here that's popping up and i'm gonna turn off notifications as well because and i'm gonna turn off my screen as well because we just want to do the reading right we're here to

comics teacher on chat enjoy the reading gang i hope i do it justice i'll see you guys after the reading oh my god don't move the screen as you can tell i'm pretty excited about this reading right i get excited about all the comic book readings let me turn on the audio for this and apologies about the glare that's why i had the thing under it right okay let me turn this audio on test test nice i'm just going to put a little time stamp just in case i'm going to take that visual of this in and maybe just load up the reading without the intro we'll see hi everyone this is chi chou welcome to our channel and welcome to another comic book reading and we're doing a live stream reading of this comic book and the comic we're gonna read today is alarming tales number six it's the last issue of the series published by harvey publications okay and this comic book came out in 1958 and it has the approved comic book code on it right so this is uh 1958 1956 is sort of considered the beginning of the silver age the end of the golden age right so this is the beginning of the silver age of comics and there's a lot of amazing artists that have worked on this comic book and what i'm going to do right now is just take this out of the plastic bag take it out of the bag and board so we don't get the glare on the camera so we can take a look at this thing and i'm going to give you a little intro to this comic and this comic by the way is graded at good very good okay for the last few years i've been putting sort of the grade on the comic books that i've been buying that way i know what grade i bought the books at so it's graded at good very good and i ended up paying 850 canadian 630 us for this which is an amazing deal amazing deal because it has some fantastic giants in the industry working on this comic book and it's also it also contains the ant man prototype okay and ant man made his first appearance officially in 1962 i believe and i'm going to read you a little write up that i found okay actually let me read you don't write up for this before we take a look at the book but let me tell you who the artists who the creators are that have worked on this thing okay so as i mentioned this is the last issue issue number six of this series alarming tales right and alarming tales number one two three four five had jack Kirby working on them as well okay this is the only issue from the series that jack Kirby did not work on okay and the people that have worked on this are john seven rey bailey fred kita paul ringman al williamson angelo torres okay and the cover is by john seven and it's got the ufo cover and the ufo covers are extremely sought after from the golden age and silver age of comics early silver age anyway from the 1950s it's it's it's a pretty important book and this thing really reminds me of the movie the day the earth stood still right and sci-fi comic books from the 1940s 50s were some of the most amazing comic books you could read they're absolutely fantastic right and the cover for this says the new dimension of suspense alarming tales alarming tales in november number six tenth cent cover and comic book code approved a thrill adventure take a look at this logo right and it is harvey publications right ambassador from outer space and that's the reason why this thing really reminds me of the day the earth stood still and that's a black and white movie and i believe it came out in 1950s where the spaceships lands in new york and the big robot comes comes out and it's a fantastic movie by the way fantastic movie that was also remade but before we get into this let me read you this little write-up and i take notes when i do the readings of these things right and i can give you the names here i mean john seven and the numbers that you see here that i've written down on my notes here where it says john seven 936 john seven has 936 comic books to his credit right what what an amazing creator and he was huge for in ec comics and front front line combat some of the war comics some of the western comics and he was uh he was one of the founding cartoonists of mad from 1952 right so mad magazine just amazing right the guy john seven was responsible for creating some of the most amazing pieces of work that we've had the pleasure to read right and then we have bernard bailey right he was a comic book creators he created the co-creator specter and uh our man he has 439 comic books to his credit fred keter had a hundred night 128 comic books to his credit he worked on with atlas comics that's pre marvel right we have al williamson 929 comic books to his credit well paul reman 588 comic books to his credit angelo torres 171 comic books to his credit and al williamson is absolutely huge as well work for ec comics and a number of other amazing amazing publishers right and paul reman is known as jack kirby's frequent incur he worked on war comics golden age comics he worked on the incredible hulk number one from 1962 x-men number one to five uh from 1963 the avengers number one three and five from 1963 and 1964 like the number of people that are contributed to this comic book from 1958 is just mind-blowing right but here's the quote um that i'm going to read you and i pulled this off of a comic book ebay listing that i found online because i was looking to buy more of these things uh alarming tales if you find an amazing comic that you that you really want sometimes i go out personally and i buy a few copies of it either trying to upgrade or if i can get amazing deals on them right as a collector that is what i do right but here's right up regarding this comic book quote this listing is for a sweet copy a lot and this isn't the listing that it was talking about it was another listing that i found after the fact that the comic was no longer for sale right quote this listing is for a sweet copy of alarming tales number six by harvey comics from 1958 this series was an early jack kirby al williamson and john severne sci-fi horror series though this specific issue was not worked on by kirby what makes this book famous is that there is a backup story the king of ants which was created by john severne while he was working at harvey comics as well as marvel comics at the time while this story did not get much notoriety it did grab the attention of jack kirby who worked on all the other issues of the series at the time jack kirby was working with john severne on the series as well as tales to astonish and strange tales for marvel comics so they took the concept back to marvel comics and did the first ant man prototype in tales of suspense which met with mixed reviews leading up to the creation of hank pyre the original ant man and star of the major motion picture by marvel that makes this the very first prototype of ant man character sadly graze law and the guy goes just a little write up what it grades at right now if you're checking online if you go to wikipedia you will not find ant man the creators of ant man al williamson john severne or angelo torres being credited as being the creators of ant man because this is considered to be the ant man prototype right so if you're a comic book collector if you're following comic books you're really curious and there is a lot of more research a lot more information that we we we need to dig up regarding these amazing human artifacts that we have had over the last 100 years or so 100 plus years or so right because there are creators that created characters created universes that aren't credited with creating those characters or those universes right should the question that we should ask ourselves should john severne and al williamson and angelo torres be credited with being the creators or at least the co-creators of ant man because on wikipedia it's not their names are not in the write-up of the wiki article and i've checked a few other websites some websites say a couple places i believe i came across where it says al williamson and john severne were part of the minds that created ant man okay and i think that's uh that's uh something to which we need to think about now as i mentioned this is great at good very good right uh take a look at this thing this thing has a little bit of tape on the spine right so good very good i believe that's a grading of around three right take a look at this thing i'm just showing a close-up of the comic so you get a good feeling of what the grade of this would be considered right the cover is attached right so and there is some well not some a fair bit of wear and tear on the cover take a look nice close-up UFOs UFOs UFOs let's take a look at the back cover and there's tape on the back cover as well the most amazing muscle building course ever offered look at this the most amazing absolutely free to introduce you to the most amazing muscle building course ever offered hey fellows i'll build you a championship body who is this person for football judo wrestling baseball jack dillinger in just 15 minutes a day three times a week in the privacy of your own home jack dillinger i don't know jack dillinger i don't know if we've read his name before right and he's got some tears uh on the back cover as well right oh look at that dinosaur seven gigantic dinosaurs that's another ad in the in the comic but let's flip through this before we read some of these stories and the stories in this comic book there's a handful of them right there's ambassadors ambassador from venus the emotion maker king of ants is the one that we're going to read and there's a couple of other stories in this as well the cover is nicely attached which is great and here's a listing there's got a table of contests telling us what comic books there are what stories they have here's another muscle building how to gain up to 50 pounds of mighty muscles nice and i'll show you absolutely free who's this one this person are you

man carried the fate of our world wow look at this oh we're gonna flip through this we're gonna read the first story for sure that looks trippy look at that one the emotion maker he can make he can make you happy he can make you sad he can make you dread the day you ever met him that's the second story cool and by the way the first story ambassador from venus is written by i believe john seven okay pencils by bernard bailey inks by bernard bailey the second story is fred kitta did the pencils in the inks and i don't know i believe is john seven writing most of these okay the king of ants and this one the pencils in the inks are al williamson and angelo torres so the king of ants the soldier observed the ants and learned the valuable lesson of strategy and the fourth story in this is the strange power of gary ford he was suddenly gifted with new powers and plagued with perils let's read the fine print of this alarming tales november 1958 volume one number six is published by

the story is could be hard to say could be john seven could be bernard bailey but let's have a read through this ambassador from venus a most unnatural messenger crashed into a convention of scientists in washington dc and the impact through the meeting into a frenzy earth men listen to me this is a warning the scientists don't panic get the security guard the intruder from space addressed the learned men of science and the message he brought left them speechless don't don't grape at me everything i've told you is true he says he's like a little puppet guy with strings attached to him how would you feel if a man controlled like puppet strings told you how to live your life oh he's holding a orange globe and what the so what was so astonishing about the glowing disc he gripped in his hand astounding about the glowing disc he gripped in his hand you'll find the amazing chill packed answer in the ambassador from venus that was a little intro to it let's give the full page on this he was the most important courier of all time and earth scientists had good cause for alarm for this was the ambassador from venus i have come to warn you earth scientists great grief the scientist says the things being supported by puppet strings who is it what does he want here it happened that day the great minds of astronomy gathered to probe the problems of space in washington at long last we have entered the space age it is vital it is it is vital that we learn as quickly as possible how to adjust to this new era so scientists and board were meeting suddenly the meeting was startled as a eerie buzzing vibrate buzzing vibrated the chamber what what's that what's happening great scott rays vibrations from above striking the steps look at this it's in the middle of the street there's this guy hanging from puppet strings glowing an outside stunned citizen saw most astonishing sight look something materializing in this air in thin air everybody's looking then there's no need to be alarmed gentlemen i have come to attend to your conference and speak before you haha why not scientists from space maybe inside them inside the bizarre figure strode to the speaker stand time is time is short i must be brief i come from out in space please heed my words well incredible the scientists say the hand of the lifelike puppet reached ominously into the case and you here on earth will will soon be joining our great galaxy of planets my mission is to brief you on your coming journey it's pulling a disc out of a suitcase the glowing disc vibrated with some unseen force and abruptly an incredible picture filled the vast chamber observed the planet on on geo explosions all over it oh those are UFOs flying off the planet oh it's being blown up UFOs are flying off of it slowly the ominous scene faded and with mechanical movement the puppet withdrew a second disc who are you what does this all mean the scientist asks my next mind disc is that of the planet tartle he pulls out another disc again a third-dimensional lifelike picture of scenes one million light years away took form on tartle her hurdles through space even now a flaming atomized vanquished planet good grief it's terrible terrible the scientist says fear anger stirred the great scientist's mind as the puppet man there it has happened tartle has become a dead exploding star so the planet is just burning up the scientist they've sent the puppet from space to frighten us but why the scientist asks scientists are mad look at that and as the vision dimmed stop this we're men of science also stop treating us like children what is the purpose of all this scientist asks the puppet man wait men of science you must see the next disc it is the most important of all and he pulls out another discs disc from his briefcase then as the next space picture took form it's the earth the scientist says and there's like missiles going towards it they've got those fantastic mind pictures of our own planet another scientist says oh the scientists are mad instantly the sound of explosions rent the room the earth bombarded by h bombs we're being threatened this is their way of telling us how they can destroy us the scientists are saying and there's the earth being bombarded by missiles it is for your own good that i come you must learn the best way to exist the puppet man says great grief they must want to control us in some fashion the scientist replied and as the puppet moved outside you of the earth must be awakened to the great life that awaits you when men of venus come to control your destinies see how am i how i am controlled by the all powerful will i need not think or worry i need only obey orders and enjoy life the puppet man says oh there's a bystander thinking so that's it the power that controls that thing seeks to run earth people as puppets also suddenly the power emitting from that mobile tv unit is disrupting one of his puppet strings he's rising on that side of course i think i know their secret one of the scientists says yeah there's a little disruption in the string pulling from the tv antennas i guess the tv unit right hurry phone the city lighting company tell the officer officials i want them to do exactly as i say now listen the scientist tells the police officer soon after the excited scientist race after the bizarre dangling figure puppet from outer space i am not convinced your i'm not convinced yours is the best life let me see if you can move about everywhere as easily as i can the cops the scientist sitting in the car talking to the puppet guy lee then i shall follow follow you anywhere the puppet guy says so the scientist driving the car and the puppet guy is uh following him no matter how fast you travel a venetian can travel faster he says further and further the scientist leaves the dangling figure see i can walk across water on my strings you are full not to want to become a puppet also the scientist thinking now it must work it's got to now turn on full power so the scientist has uh drove to a power plant with the puppet guy hanging behind them following him right and he's telling the technicians to turn on the power and the power plant to full power let's see what happens let's check it out let's see the whole panel on this suddenly generators hum tremendous voltage surges through the company apparatus and the puppet strings they've melted broken the scientist says those aren't puppet strings and he's not a puppet the scientist knows something so the puppet strings are cutting and the guy's gonna fall beautiful artwork nice movement in the books from the 1950s and 40s as i suspected when that tv power unit weakened one of the supports those are gravitational rays gravitational ray help me help me i'm too heavy to move on your planet so the puppet guy's fallen on the ground the gravity is pulling him down he can't move around gravitational rays because gravity on this planet is lighter than ours because gravity on his planet is lighter than ours he can't walk without those power beams that moved him it was a bluff a gigantic bluff from space to control us the scientist says please please the power so please please release the power so that i can return to venus i won't bother you again the puppet guy says and shortly as the powers turned off a warlord of venus seeking to fool us as a puppet now how could how could they think we would believe such a thing the scientist says and the other one the other scientist one thing is certain they won't be back and the puppet mask puppet guy just flies off that was easily resolved they great sci-fi stories they have never read anything like the puppet guy coming from space we've had a lot of alien stories and stuff but nothing like this or i've read a lot of alien stories this was trippy look at his puppet strings the gravitational rays look at that let's check this out oh this is just the two pager oh no these are two one pagers each one of these is a one page story let's read these very cool very cool look at this what is this about moon descends after years of research and planning man is now minutes away from making his first landing in outer space all is quiet inside the rocket ship as the crew await the order for major duit for their moon descends so the rocket ship's going towards the moon rm i wonder what rm stands for that's the earth in the background this is truly an historic occasion man it's hard to believe but we are the first humans of earth to successfully reach the moon they've landed on the moon and that's a huge spaceship we're kind of coming down with the ladder right kind of gives you an eerie feeling major it's the kind of feeling that no matter how quiet and barren it is i feel we are not alone the other astronaut says when are you going to claim this territory sir in just about major i'm getting some heavy reaction on the counter oh that's the other scientist with a little gauge on there right oh look at this there's like dinosaurs on the moon what check this out is it possible that others from earth have landed here too i doubt it every country has made public their plans to reach the moon these reactions are strange i doubt if they're coming from a human being look at that but if it's something else maybe some kind of animal i would have had to it would have had to inhabit the moon for millions of years and it's dinosaurs the end so that's where the dinosaurs went they went to the moon so what a trippy little one pager never ever have i read any theories about dinosaurs on the moon that's funny check this one out let's see what this is all about let's get this focused amanda pennsylvania dutch superstitions and fears about unnatural happenings still exist of course we don't believe in those yarns but after the story who knows it was during a visit to my uncle's farm in pennsylvania where all dutch bear barns have unusual symbols painted on the exterior walls so there's a barn he's looking at a bar with a symbol on the bar i was strolling along the edge of the forest when i heard footsteps behind me as i turned to greet the oncomer it happened hello what oh it burst apart and the ground is melting around it it's like a fire blazing fire thing going on oh he's running away frightened by the occurrence my feet flew over the ground across the freshly plowed fields and the strange glow was still following me it's like yelling running fast my feet didn't stop till i reached my uncle's house i blurred out my i blurted out my story to him fear struck suddenly in his eyes didn't vanish quick get a broom don't don't gape do as i say there's no time to lose place it halfway over the door why he asks so he's outside the door place it halfway over the door he says that thing can't resist the broom believe me it's the only way to save us what and as i watched the thing scream swoop down grab the broom and erased off into the night as i said who knows what to believe the end supernatural broom broom collecting creatures trippy that's a folklore look at this one the emotion maker let's read this the emotion maker let's read the little intro to it he could make he could make you laugh cry love hate he could make you a hero or a coward a flick of the dials on his fantastic machine the emotion maker coward manual is a coward no no coward they're watching a bullfight the crowd is yelling at the matador is that what you call them matador the bulls are running towards them oh look at the scientist he's got a little i guess a motion maker gun or a camera it looks like a sort of a projection type of thing in his hand what does this guy say those boys stop it you've turned the bravest matador of all spain into a cringing coward this guy knows something i regret that first day i met david du bois atop the eiffel tower in france uh my american friend one day all paris shall lay at my feet my power should be shall be felt in all the great cities of the world really he says i assume you control some giant financial empire mr du bois the american says mr du bois no not yet musio traveler traib travers musio travers no not yet musio travers but one day soon come you must visit me visit with me in my studio we shall be close friends he says the americans thinking quite an intriguing character interesting character looks like my trip to paris is going to going to provide a few laughs mad scientist lab they've gone to at du bois bizarre studio i could hardly suppress a smile is here to my secret rest at rest travers soon i shall unchain my scientific giant for all the world to see i can thinking a real crackpot he's probably trying to make gold or something for a month we were cost we were constant companions then early one evening he appeared at my hotel wide-eyed with excitement package come travers we are going to the theater to see the greatest actor in all france jean farge oh yes he's winning ray of notices playing the part of a coward at the boulevard theater okay let's go oh he's got his little ray gun out instrument shortly in a theater box du bois what in thunder is that thing why are you pointing it at the stage do not fear my friend my machine will not harm jean farge it will merely steal a bit of it a bit of his skill as nervously as i nervously watched du bois operated the strange device the actor no no i beg of you do not harm me the actor mr du bois oh yes farge is indeed the master actor he plays the perfect coward so you can see the little rays going towards the actor on stage afterwards my incredible friend launch launch still another surprise when we return to the studio to his studio great thunder du bois cut out the mystery and tell me what this mumbo jumbo is all about and he's pointing towards oh he's pointing towards a flower we see in the next panel now in time mr uh mr du bois says in time mr travers we have seen the greatest actor in paris now we must visit the bravest bullfighter tonight we leave for spain he says he's uh projecting the rays onto this flower i was too fascinated to resist morning found us in the dressing room of the famous matador manual the scientist manual the fairest lady in paris requests the bravest matador in spain to wear her rose in the ring today america's thinking now why that's the rose he had in his studio what could be what could he be giving it why what could he be giving it to manual for the american things shortly the crowd cheered as manual met the first bull he's out the cheering crowd all around him and the arena the scientist ah he wears the rose he's all happy america's thinking du bois losing his wits i better drop him as a friend before he does something dangerous with a sweat on the matador's face suddenly as the bull turned to charge manual what feels wrong with him his red cape is just dangling there he's not prepared no no manual says help me don't let the bull harm me manual says he's freaked out and he's wearing the rose oh look at the crowd they're all throwing things at him they're not happy with his cowardice the arena went wild the the incredible had happened spain's fame matador was a coward the american grabs the scientist by a by a caller that rose somehow it made manual a coward how how did you do it he asks the scientist aha i stole the cowardly emotion of jon farge and gave it to manual for all science someone must suffer my friend the crowds thrown things at the matador cowered his the matador's cowering in the arena on his knees look at that the other matador's coming to help him or remove him anger disgust fear welled up inside me as du bois gleefully explained his secret you see my friend like sun draws water from the clouds i draw emotions from people's people's manual breathe breathe not only the aroma of a rose but the scent of a coward also du bois you're breaking the laws of nature i'll have nothing more to do with you or your terrible experiment the american says the scientist very well travers but you are a fool i now i now now have power over every man on earth i'll sell emotions as the as the baker sells different breads wow that's a super villain power oh look at him in the days to follow i couldn't shut du bois on his terrible or his terrible device from my mind evidence of his work were everywhere people watching a parachute the guy coming down near the eiffel tower why it's papa butch camp he's jumped from the tower wow an old man with the courage of a paratrooper could this be some of his some of du bois work so an old man jumped from the eiffel tower and opened up the parachute i forget what that's called hate struck in a museum i hate this museum i hate it someone's breaking the museum displays the museum curator great grief he's the most mild mattered man alive what's happened to him he's just destroyed a display greed sees the present of a bank look at that the president of bank is coming out of a vault with bags of money it's mine do you understand all the bank's money all the bank's money belongs to me alone sacri bleu our president has lost his senses uncontrollable sadness swept the gala paris ball wow look at all the people just sad and crying finally the moment came when i could stand no more he's test he's testing his terrible power everywhere it's just a matter of time before someone is killed or or injured artist ball ends in tears the newspaper says i'm the only person who knows his secret and it's up to me to stop him i can't have him arrested nobody would believe me yes but perhaps there is one way to stop his devilish work that night i waited until the lights of du bois laboratory blinked out and the americans in his lab he must have the vile i want among his emotion bottles sneaking in in the dark oh what's he grabbing what's he grabbing let's check cautiously i played my i played my flashlight beam along the row of bottles until yes yes this is the one remembering each move the while made i duplicated them to the letter i mustn't make the smallest mistake this is the one chance to save us all from du bois fearsome device he's messing around with it then then i reversed his emotion device as i had seen him do it must work it must he thinks so he poured a little bit of liquid into the device take a look at that he's pouring a little bit of liquid into the device and while du bois sleeping he's uh exposing him to the rays let's see du bois in his lab long minutes later du bois woke had i succeeded du bois lab such a pleasant rest i feel so relaxed at peace with the world says for a long moment he studied his lot of equipment then what a beast i've been to threaten human nature tinkering with emotions is an insult to humanity i destroy my work forever oh he's just trashing his own lab it worked the american things ah look at the bois face he's totally happy and bliss i'm happy at long last i'm really happy yes du bois you're happy through no fault of your own you really devolved this developed this emotion because of the hate that festered within you the americans thinking in the background but now it saved you from yourself brotherly love so the so the vile that he picked up that had the emotion in it that he poured into the what do you call it the gadget was called brotherly love emotion uh-huh bliss cute cute happy ending oh the king of ants we're into the king of ants story the prototype for ants man let's have a read through this okay it's a little i was in the tropics visiting my friend dr harry cross at the plantations are fascinating creatures jack as an x army officer you'd be interested in studying their military power prowl prowls the guy says yeah i recall back home they had special ants brought in to combat bull bull weevils bull weevils that's roughly my job here i'm i'm i'm to determine which ants are good for the plantation and which are bad the good ones will remain but the bad ones will have to be driven off with some with smoke bombs a lot of these bombs will arrive by jeep tomorrow war against the ants hey that should be interesting and that's how quite simply it all began little did i know that by nightfall i would be able to say what no man could ever say that i was the king of ants doc these little these little fellows are absolutely fascinating the x soldier the more you study them the more you become intrigued by them the scientist says dr cross the plantation is being attacked by raiders one of the plantation worker comes in nice panel there's the plant uh what do you call not the plant that the ants farm in his lab right in a glass container the raiders were coastal bandits who swept down in hordes upon unsuspecting plantations doc from the sound of the gunfire i'd say there aren't too many of them right jack their scouting party sent to pin us down until the main party arrives so there's being attacked by bandits what did this guy say attacked by raiders so the guy was warning that raiders are attacking them and their actual raiders a scouting party but even their scout party outnumbered the men we have here the scientist says i've been with troops in battle who were outnumbered but somehow came through gather your men i'll round up all the weapons we have on hand the soldier says as i raced back through the lab a shot it exploded some vials on the shelf above me there's an explosion he gets thrown back something in the chemicals seemed to weaken me and i leaned on the lab bench i found myself staring fixedly at the scurrying ants odd very odd i feel strange different something's happening to me maybe something caused by the chemicals he says i strained to call out for doc cross but couldn't utter a single murmur and i seem to be getting smaller and still smaller smaller smaller smaller doc doc where are you great guns what happened to me he's like super tiny crazy tiny he's ant man right take a look at the size of the ant wow he's like about half the size of the ants beautiful silhouette whoa i heard strange almost musical humming sounds and then i saw them too late the ants i've shrunk to microscopic size i'm smaller even even in the ants and by harry they're making they're making me prisoner they're grabbing him i was as helpless as a rag doll in a child's clutches but then their grip suddenly relaxed and i saw why a beetle but it's not the small insect i normally knew it's as big as a rhino right now and it's got to it's got the ants worried the ants were few in number in number merely a patrol and were no match for the oncoming beetle and neither was i a match for it unless unless i can make a workable sword out of this thorn so it cuts a thorn from a plant with thorn spear in hand i climbed upon a raised twig raised along to a point above the beetle then leaped what i wouldn't give for an m1 rifle or a grenade now captain jack flair flair tea us infantry fighting with a thorn i landed with a crash up top the beetle barely missing the missing the poised pincers and though the thorn spear was broken it had done its work the strange humming sound is changed it's its tone what are they up to now oh the ants come over they pick them up once again they took hold of me but more gently this time and they bore me away now not as their prisoner but as a friend yes i've become their champion he's riding the ant ah they put him on a chair check this out i totally forgotten this they bore me to their colony where i was received by the others with loud humming acclaim following a brief parade i was placed in what appeared to be a throne room great guns now i understand they're making me their king for good i was brought tasty for food i was brought tasty honey and other tidbits which i didn't recognize but enjoyed i witnessed them at work saw how they built roads by removing obstacles in their path they have tremendous strength and uncanny intelligence and i let them on hunting hunting forays go rabbits are running away the birds are flying away the rabbits as big as a dinosaur and the bird as big as a rock then i knew what made the bird take the take the wing and the rabbits scurry away coming towards us were those dreaded raiders of the insect insect world the mighty driver ants the raider ants will wipe out our entire colony we haven't got a chance he says but then i witnessed unusual strategy my ant friends were gathering choice morsels and placing them in the path of the driver army it wouldn't even take army training to see through what they're up to the enemy fought over the morsels giving my friends time to bring up their main force oh those guys are fighting that ants are fighting each other invading ants for the food haha but i knew there was no time for that so i hurriedly went about starting a small fire by striking stones together here's where i can help out again start a fire and set the dry moss ablaze he says the wind is just right cough cough and the smoke's turning them back the fire wall to protect this colony jack jack all you are right someone's calling out i came to suddenly back in the lab back to normal size thank heavens the chemicals were harmless hurry jack the guns we need guns the main raider party will be here soon raiders sure look doc don't ask questions get every possible thing of value on the plantation i've got a plan we took money jewelry trinkets made out our made our way into the jungle and flung it in the path of the uncoming raiders jack your strategy is working they're fighting over the valuables that'll give us precious time it's not my strategy doc he says yes we got our precious time and when the jeep arrived with the smoke bombs we routed the raiders just as i had seen other other raiders routed once before haha he's talking about the ants your military training sure saved us jack yes military training learned in the strangest army i've ever known the soldier says later when i told the doc cross when i told doc cross my phenomenal experience in that far far away world of course the chemicals could have brought on a sort of delirium that made you dream all that or maybe it was a sort of a self-hypnosis brought on by your fascination with the ants the doctors the doc says don't burst the beautiful bubble doc i like to think i was there after all who doesn't like to be a king even for a day the soldier says so he was hallucinating it and you can bet your bottom dollar on one thing i'm sure careful nowadays about stepping on ants any ants the end so that i would consider definitely to be an antman prototype the only catch is he didn't actually shrink in size he hallucinated it right because he came to and the doc still in the lab right very cool i'd forgotten about the throne and i actually forgot about the hallucination i thought he actually shrunk right very cool very cool we're gonna skip the the long text stories okay we're gonna read the comic and this is the last story in this comic let's read this guy see where it takes us it seemed that no walls could withstand the strange power of gary ford who is this gary ford so this story is called the strange power of gary ford this is what i call the first rate break funny though there's no mention on the map of a city located at this point of the sehara so he's riding a little bike in the sehara comes across this magnificent city look at this thing brand city it's almost like a castle and it wastes really hot thirsty and we we reread by the sun burning down on the endless desert waste the adventurer drove into the marketplace and drank his fill oh he's gone through the well he just put his face in the well and just drinking up the water they're beckoning me to follow them well why not they seem friendly this whole bunch of air i'm telling him come over it was while he was exploring the fabulous city's beauty that gary ford made a strange startling discovery and walking right through the wall of a building oh what take a look at that he's actually going through the building that's trippy maybe it's a mirage but he drank the water he quenched his thirst the well might be real he passed through several more walls before uh suspecting the answer to his sudden power i can only it can only have been caused by the water i drank from the fountain apparently the water has no effect on the natives because they're used to drinking it this must be their their chic's palace palace that's where the flags were right water given the power looks like it led once to the presence of chic abdul rhan gary ford walked through the pillars to show off his power wow look at him go through we bid you welcome my daughter and i you will do us honor to accept our hospitality the chic says looks as if my little act has impressed him plenty there is you walking through the pillar he gets a little glow walking through oh look at all the jewels gary saw that the chic's daughter was an was attractive and he saw something else chest full of gems that's a lot of jewels a couple of girls that play here look at this what's going on as time went on gary pretended to be in love with chic abdul's daughter that he might be welcome at the palace even longer someday i may be able to prove myself worthy of you syrah your love is enough proof for me gary the chic's daughter says but soon he met a servant girl in the great palace and outside her like himself red-headed arabian girl he asks red-headed yes arabian no the girl says the chic's daughter black hair the servant redhead a yet girl and red is my favorite color honey you and i are going to be great friends he says the girl replies local gossip has it you and his nibb's daughter are like that i just work here mr ford if i so much as smile at you all being in for trouble she says in spite of herself joys flinn quickly fell in love with gary and he with her gary i'm afraid of what may happen if syrah finds out what can we do leave here leave here to leave her leave her to very rich people leave leave here to very very leave here to very rich people if your game he says oh he wants to steal some jewels i think oh oh chic abdulla's gems could keep us in luxury for the rest of our lives joys steal gary is that the only way there is for us she says look at this beautiful oasis a few nights later gary and joys filled his uh knapsack with gems and fled the palace running away sound the alarm they're making off with abdulla's treasure sounding the alarm they know the stealing it will have to make a run for joys off they go quickly joys around the corner i've got i've got we've got to separate all lead them after me while you escape no gary she says don't argue find the horse and write eastward to kyro i'll meet you there within two days he says i have the horse that came here on but what if they catch you she says they can't catch they can't catch me joys i have the power to avoid them be careful darling i'll be waiting for you she says he's going through the walls look at that gary ford headed for the market place where his motorcycle still stood he dashed through building walls to escape his pursuers oh look at the people in the back with swords and stuff chasing him look at that oh they're going after him went after little thief made it now baby let's see him catch us oh he's riding his motorbike and the people just came through with the swords i think one guy in the back is a rifle then then as he was about to ride away the chic his troops they vanished and now the buildings are starting to disappear no more city no more palace oh that's the last page one by one by one buildings faded into nothingness even the fountain is gone just a small oasis in its place until the city and its cobble streets were gone the startled eyes of gary ford beheld only dunes and palms and desert waste no wonder i could walk through the walls they were never there it was all a mirage the gems they're nothing but sand i talk with people but i heard them only because i believe they really existed he says adam he's emptying the his sack it's just sand coming out and joys then she was an illusion too he thinks as gary ford sped westward away from kyro he thought not of gems he'd never have riches don't seem important now if only joys had been real how good how good life would have been married to a girl like her he rides away joys was real look at this joys is on a horse someone else had witnessed the disappearance of the fabulous desert city i never wanted gems nothing would have mattered if only gary hadn't been just another mirage oh she thinks it's a mirage too joys flinn urged her horse eastward toward kyro away from the love she'd never see again my life would be complete if i could have married a man like that oh the end that's a great ending fantastic ending what a great story right i don't like gary what a thief two-timing thief right what a guy he stole the jewels of people that were totally hospitable to him right he got his just desert star right he lost the girl of his dreams too bad about the girl though she was making a wrong decision anyway gary was not worth it that was a great story that was cool what a great book what a great book i'm gonna try to get my hands on this whole series really alarming
