At Your Service, Madame...

Here's a neat series of midcentury slides that I stumbled upon in a friend's antique mall booth the other day. It appears to be the same man and woman featured in a variety of service attendant / customer situations: gas station / mechanic, waste removal, TV repair, leg inspector, etc. I super love the interesting array of background scenery detail, vintage cars, work uniforms, and most notably the highly fashionable wardrobe, hair, and make-up styles on the woman. Boy, with all of the hard work that is clearly on display here, I do hope she remembered to tip him well, too!

Hi There!

Here's a long (novelty) letter for you from California. And pre-written, --so I didn't even have to!

The Revolt of the Plants!

As long as we're in Golden Age Super Heroine mode this week, we may as well take a look at this awesome, nightmarish Jack and Otto Binder Mary Marvel adventure that I've been sitting on for a while. And being the first day of Spring 2026 no less, the wonderfully surreal, spooky-woodsy vibe of this one is sure to get you all scampering away from the weird wild in no time. Or maybe it'll get some of you budding artists to really appreciate the Binder craft of fantastically freaky monster foliage! Seriously, just all 'round great cartooning here, --and if you missed Binder's Captain Battle and Mr. Scarlet stories I posted over at THOIA earlier this month, you should go check them out immediately! From the January 1944 issue of Wow Comics #21. And FYI: we'll be returning back to "everything else too" here shortly, so quit'yer belly achin'...

Bait for the Beast

We may be taking a break from the horror-filled hero encounters over at THOIA for a bit-- but not here at AEET! We also have MORE MARCH MUMMY MACABREY on deck too! (I told ya's these shamblin' antiques would find their weird, wobbly way over to this blog as well-- didn't I say? Didn't I?!) And yeah, in our previous double feature post, we saw hottie heroine Fantomah take out some bandaged brute bags, --now today it's up to sizzlin' Sheena "Queen of the Jungle" (and Chim!) to swing into mummified action! From the March 1941 issue of Jumbo Comics #25, and featuring art by THOIA fan-fave, bad ass, Bob Powell, too!

Fantomah vs. The Mummies!

We've been looking at some fun hero vs. mummy stories over at THOIA this month (CLICK HERE if you'v missed 'em!), --and today at AEET we're getting a slightly spooky jump on our "March of the Mummies Monday" with an old, and even older Fantomah Double Dipped Feature! First up, from the May 1942 issue of Jungle Comics #29, foxy Fantomah faces an army of bandaged baddies, followed by an even earlier, but no less fantastic Fletcher Hanks super Fantomah entry via the November 1940 issue of Jungle Comics #11. I've even got another creepy mummy classic lined-up here for later this week too-- stay sarcopha-tombed!
