Captain's Library YOUNG REBELS "Phantom Army" Part 1

Yesterday We Introduced You to The Young Rebels...

Now watch them in Family Hour (relatively non-violent) action!

To Be Concluded...Tomorrow!

Illustrated by Jose Delbo and scripted by a currently-unknown writer, this first of two stories from the one-shot Dell Young Rebels (1970) follows the series' format and characters pretty closely, reflecting the mood of the USA at the time, when it was hoped the Youth of America would effect change!

Coming Tomorrow: YOUNG REBELS

If Today's Reich-Wing Believes Pop Culture today is "woke"...Where the Hell Were They in 1970?

A "youthquake" hit mass-media!

Whether stranded Gilligan's Island/Lost-style on an isolated island...

Or fighting for civil rights, young adults were everywhere...

...even the American Revolution!

BTW, your eyes do not deceive you!
The second lead is, in fact, Lou Gossett (before adding "Jr" to his stage name) in his first ongoing series role!
Beginning tomorrow, join us as we look back at a time-lost TV series and it's one-issue comic book!

Before Supergirl, There was...Supergirl!

With a New Supergirl Movie Opening This Week...

...we thought we'd offer a look at the never-reprinted comic adaptation of the previous flick about the Girl of Steel...which played in theatres over 40 years ago!

(Note: We ran the re-presentation in 2015, when the Supergirl TV series that ran on CBS and The CW debuted, so there are links to related websites that no longer work!)

Captain's Library & Theatre CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND Part Three: Contact

In the past Two Days, You Have Read of Close Enounters of the First Kind and Second Kind!

Cover for Cinefantastique V7N3&4 (1977) by Barclay Shaw
Now, join us as we experience a Close Encounter of the Third Kind!

We interrupt the graphic retelling to present what follows after the Mothership descends, which no graphic print imagery (even by Walt Simonson, Klaus Janson, and Marie Severin) could provide...

Wow!

Now back to the graphic novel...

If you're like me, and you've seen CE3K in all three of it's edits (Original. Special Edition, Director's Cut)  you've no doubt noticed differences between the film and the print adaptation!

Luckily, writer/editor Archie Goodwin provided a text feature to explain some of them.
Remember, this was in the dark, primitive days before the Internet, e-mail, portable drives, CD-Roms and other physical media, even DVDs or mass-market videotape...

With all the difficulties they faced, we're lucky this mag wasn't filled with blank pages!

Thank you for joining us on this look back almost a half-century to Steven Spielberg's first alien encounter movie!

Now Go See the New Movie...
