The Statues Walked My Darling Into Time

My thanks once again to Steven Thompson for recommending Lou Cameron. I've been very much enjoying digging into his work, and i hope the rest of you have been enjoying this sampling of his comics.
To conclude our weekend with Lou Cameron, we have a varied trio of tales a mix of Romance, Science Fiction, and Weird Horror - Goodbye, My Darling, Mission Into Time, and The Night The Statues Walked -




As we've seen, although the new Unsleeping Dead collection may focus on Lou Cameron's horror work, he was at home in many genres - Horror, Science Fiction, Romance, Crime, War, Adventure....  
However, Lou fans might note that there is one particular genre we pointedly have not touched upon this weekend.

That's a topic for another day.

Saturday Night Romance

As mentioned earlier, our main feature tonight is a romance tale - from the guys who invented the genre.
We haven't seen Jack Kirby since the King Kirby 100 celebration back in August. Seemed like we should give everyone else a chance before getting back to him.
 It's been long enough.

So tonight we've got The Man I Loved Was A Mama's Boy! from Jack, with inks from his old partner Joe Simon, from their Young Romance comic.
But, before that, we've got Jet Dream and her Stunt-Girl Counter-Spies (when did that get hyphenated?) encountering a jade tiger - Ting-A-Ling...





To wrap up, a little romance - Jet Dream style (without the hyphen) -


Jet Dream takes a break and we'll be visiting with more old friends for Sunday Morning Funnies. But Jet & the team will be back for the afternoon matinee.
