I became aware of this article thanks to Michael Barrier's excellent "Funnybooks", a history of Dell Comics that centers on Carl Barks, Walt Kelly, and John Stanley. Highly recommended.

More information about the Charles Beaumont article can be found here: sekvenskonst.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-...

Beaumont was writing (along with William F. Nolan) funny animal comics at the time, and the article offers an inside look at how Western Publishing operated, their page rates, and how they were dealing with Dr. Fredric Wertham and the anti-comics campaign.

And the reason I've Beaumont on my mind today is because I found this obscure article about Dell Comics (Western Publishing) written by him in 1955. It's noteworthy for having one of the earliest mentions of Carl Barks in print: docs.google.com/file/d/0B7FL...

Charles Beaumont's first writings were made as a fan and letterhack in science-fiction magazines. Daniel Ritter has written a summary of his teenage activities: firstfandomexperience.org/2025/11/04/c...

And finally, this. This is the first science fiction story illustrated by Jean-Claude Mézières, who would later go on to draw Valerian and Lauraline! Done in 1956.

It seems that some of the stories intended for this magazine eventually ended up at Hama's CRAZY magazine.

A somewhat familiar outfit:

From a story he did with Harvey Kurtzman (included in the 1990 "Harvey Kurtzman's Strange Adventures" book).

ARMY@LOVE by Rick Veitch and Gary Erskine was quite funny, definitely worth checking out.

It seems Fran Matera may have been ghosting the strip around this time.

Looks like a page from a 3-D comic, the numbers must indicate in which plane (or at which depth) that part of the drawing should be.

Es probable que venga de este libro de 1992
