Sci-Fi Week! Groove's Faves: "If the World Had to End Twice..." by O'Neil, Buckler, and Smith

Here's a fave sci-fi shocker by the truly bodacious team of Denny O'Neil, Rich Buckler, and Bob Smith (mis-credited to Giordano), Groove-ophiles! This story is so far-out and fab that DC used it to kick off the inaugural ish of Time Warp (July 1979). Just what would happen..."If the World Had to End Twice..."?

Sci Fi Week! Random Reads: "Aftermath!" by Warner, Sutton, and Austin

Sci-Fi Week is back, Groove-ophiles! Hope ya dig it!

A couple'a years ago we spent the weekend reading Marvel's awesome adaptation of MGM's Logan's Run flick. (You can still read the whole thing here, here, and here, btw!) Did'ja know that Marvel was given the go-ahead to produce a comicbook sequel to the 1976 sci-fi shocker? It was a novel idea, to show both the good and bad sides of being humanity's "liberator". Sadly, the sequel lasted only two issues (Logan's Run #'s 6-7, March-April 1977), but it was nicely written by John (Bloodstone) Warner with art by Tom (Boy from Derby) Sutton, Terry (X-Men) Austin, and Klaus (Daredevil) Janson. Wanna take a look at the "epilogue" from ish #6? Okay, then, let's check out  the..."Aftermath!"
Dig that far-out Paul Gulacy cover!
