...here's a never-reprinted Yuletide tale from over a half-century ago that we originally-presented over a decade ago, so it's likely most of the blog's current readers have never seen it!

The cover story for DC's Hot Wheels #6 (1971) was written by Len Wein, with art by Neal Adams and Dick Giordano, following Alex Toth's character designs from the 1969-1971 animated series based on the toy line.
Toth also illustrated most of the stories in the comic series!

We'll be presenting the rest of the Hot Wheels series next year (which begins in a week) along with info on the controversy the TV series created!

In the meantime, we're taking a break from posting to repair the damage done by Picasa when they reduced the default size of images stored by them to only 512 pixels, so when we return after January 1st, all the images on this blog will be back to their 750 pixel (or bigger) height.

Merry Christmas

Happy New Year!
