From my Spam folder....

Sometimes, I actually read the piles of junk that deposits daily in my SPAM folder from people with absurd (almost Groucho Marx or W.C. Fields-like) names like Shelton Butts, Raymundo Laundry, Quaalude Poland, Bordulace Boggs and Fediciary J. Climax -

Like this doggerel:

"Might seem good argument gives income developer invested.
Mistake always entitled long?
Describes less anyway closed, source, mind binaryonly.
Released, april whats new. Attacking ships cargo kidnapping murdering.
Difamating under statement sense! Private things do deserve, completly ignored untrusting.

Early, days, fairly dominant but, still pursuing customers.
Dollar page perform slowly, quarter. Linuxyou, opinions carefully solely wealth, huge division. Enjoy lowering reasonable hugely. Majoring cs formally, trained unixlike switch martyrwhen, rushed".

Almost seems to make sense, huh?
Or how about this:

"Thanks pm sorted problem elsewhere exactly.
Protocol running disparate, servers failsafe manner queue temporary storage. Where, you are open an try.
Put working day, days weeks month months year oldest.
Not really, sure what situation or where you. Just doesnt seem, properly, vmsgbox above.

But sometimes, it's (disturbing) stuff like this...
Oh, you don't want to read this is you like the horsies....

"I remember standing with Stanley in the late afternoons, a sandwich in hand, in front of the veterinary's which was just opposite my home. It always seemed to be late afternoon when Dr. McKinney elected to castrate a stallion, an operation which was done in public and which always gathered a small crowd. I remember the smell of the hot iron and the quiver of the horse's legs. Dr. McKinney's goatee, the taste of the raw onion and the smell of the sewer gas just behind us where they were laying in a new gas main. It was an olfactory performance through and through and, as Abelard so well describes it, practically painless. Not knowing the reason for the operation we used to hold long discussions afterwards which usually ended in a brawl. Nobody liked Dr. McKinney either: there was a smell of iodoform about him and of stale horse piss. Sometimes the gutter in front of his own office was filled with blood and in the winter time the blood froze into the ice and gave a strange look to his sidewalk. Now and then the big two-wheeled cart came, an open cart which smelled like the devil, and they whisked a dead horse into it. Rather it was hoisted in, the carcass, by a long chain which made a creaking noise like the dropping of an anchor. The smell of a bloated dead horse is a foul smell and our street was full of foul smells. On the comer was Paul Sauer's place where raw hides and trimmed hides were stacked up in the street: they stank frightfully too. And then the acrid odour coming from the tin factory behind the house - like the smell of modern progress. The smell of a dead horse, which is almost unbearable, is still a thousand times better than the smell of burning chemicals. And the sight of a dead horse with a bullet hole in the temple, his head lying in a pool of blood and his asshole bursting with the last spasmic evacuation, is still a better sight than that of a group of men in blue aprons coming out of the arched doorway of the tin factory with a hand-truck loaded with bales of fresh-made tin. Fortunately for us there was a bakery opposite the tin factory and from the back door of the bakery, which was only a grill, we could watch the bakers at work and get the sweet, irresistible odour of bread and cake".

....Hmmm.... The irresistible odour of bread and cake and long discussions which usually end in brawls.
Sign me up!

So Ed, how's the wife?

PS. Seems like the ol' Science Monster banned my IP range........ Whatever it was, I didn't do it!

PPS. I've got some cool Kirby stuff prepped for tomorrow or Friday to make up for the above.

THE ATOMIC KNIGHTS!


When you're a kid, a lot of things seem perfectly reasonable, that years later, with the benefit of hindsight, seem pretty goofy.
John Broome and Murphy Anderson's "Atomic Knights" strip would fit into this category, for sure.

And yet, I must confess, that as a kid, I was disturbingly fixated with this post-atomic "crew-cut apocalypse" and its unlikely premise. Somehow, after the bomb gets dropped (or in fact, LOTS of bombs get dropped) those old suits of armour now function as radiation suits! No foolin!
Pretty far-fetched today... but when I was a kid.....



Anyway, here's 12 of their 14 stories, featuring crisp work from Mr Anderson at his best, and wacky out-there post-apocalyptic SF writing as only Mr. Broome can supply.
I mean, can you see DC publishing an archive edition of this? No, neither could I....








01 - ORIGIN OF THE ATOMIC KNIGHTS
02 - CAVEMEN OF NEW YORK
03 - LOST CITY OF LOS ANGELES
04 - WORLD OUT OF TIME
05 - THANKSGIVING DAY - 1990
06 - WAR IN WASHINGTON
07 - ATTACK OF THE GIANT DOGS
ATOMIC KNIGHTS 1

08 - MENACE OF THE METAL RAIDERS
09 - WHEN THE EARTH BLACKED OUT
I'm missing these two...

10 - KING OF NEW ORLEANS
11 - THE PLANT THAT HATED HUMANS
12 - DANGER IN DETROIT
13 - THREAT OF THE WITCH WOMAN
14 - HERE COME THE WILD ONES!
ATOMIC KNIGHTS 2
