Lio by Mark Tatulli for April 17, 2011

I don’t blame him, Lio.

Or possibly “Heavy Metal”

Is AMAZING STORIES still in print?

In Amazing Stories? Maybe he’s got the issue with Jack Williamson’s first story, “The Metal Man.”

SCOTTtheBADGER, Amazing Stories went out of print back in the early Nineties. They were classy about it, though. If you had a subscription, they paid off the balance by sending you a large, harcover book on the first sixty years of Buck Rogers.

Don’t believe anything you read. AND half the things you see…

Will Dad do to your comics what our Moms did when we were drafted? I thought my homecoming would be happy.

After only a couple of years of reading LIO i think the Dad probably has his own collection of Comic Books. They seem to be be two peas in the same pod.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I love the ‘pulp-retro-futuristic’ look Mark Tatulli always gives the robots in the Lio strip.

And today’s ‘bot is especially cool

80 years of good stories.

I remember the TV series “Amazing Stories”; I bet the book was better.

The TV series was neither the one thing nor the other. The magazine stayed in business from 1926 (it was the first SF magazine) until the early- or mid-Nineties, after a checkered history. It carried a lot of good stories over the years.
