Mysterious cloudlike plumes bursting from Mars

Posted on February 17, 2015

USA Today reports an interesting phenomenon spotted by some astronomers:

Amateur astronomers have spotted huge cloudlike plumes erupting from Mars – a phenomenon that scientists are at a loss to explain. The bright flares, which have now died away, towered higher than anything else observed in the Martian atmosphere. Their tops reached some 150 miles in altitude, more than twice as high as the highest Martian clouds, and they sprawled across 300 to 600 miles, researchers report in this week’s Nature, a science journal.

John Carter the Only Disney’s Loss-making British Movie

Posted on February 11, 2015

John Carter of Mars Goldenage Comic Online

It’s a sad news to bring up, but our beloved John Carter is the only movie that hasn’t quite perfmored up to snuff, bringing in 0.93 cents for every dollar invested. Various criticis and bloggers around the web remarked the movie was an underappreciated gem, failing to attract the audience it deserves. A real shame, but our hero lives on in our comics!

Curiosity trek through ‘Pahrump Hills’ spotted by Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter

Posted on February 5, 2015

An interesting article with some great pictures from Psych.org:

NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover can be seen at the “Pahrump Hills” area of Gale Crater in this view from the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Pahrump Hills is an outcrop at the base of Mount Sharp. The region contains sedimentary rocks that scientists believe formed in the presence of water.

Human Shadow on Mars?

Posted on February 2, 2015

Huffington Post posted another chilling story depicting an odd shadow next to a Nasa rover, oddly resembling a helmet-less human! Crisp hair on the top, air tanks on the back, the strange figure appears to be “messing with the rover” as the article points out. Could the alien be trying to intercept our rover? Or perhaps this proves the photo was not taken on Mars at all? Or maybe just a testament to our cognitive bias to interpret shapes as human silhouettes and faces. You be the judge!

Johnny Weissmuller, Famous as Tarzan, Was Also a Record-Setting Swimmer!

Posted on February 1, 2015

The Guardian has written a nice little piece about Johny Weissmuller, who starred as Tarzan in six different movies for MGM in mid 1955s. But few know he was also a highly-accomplished swimmer who set a world-record that went undefeated for some ten years!

Best of both worlds Johnny Weissmuller competes at the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris.

The guy – whose name was Johnny Weissmuller, and who had just been given the role of Tarzan – could definitely swim. In fact, “the world’s greatest swimmer” was true then, and it’s probably still true today. To get a measure of just how good he was, try this single fact for size: in 10 years of competition swimming, Johnny Weissmuller never lost a race. Not once.

Publisher’s Limited Edition of ‘Back to the Stone Age’ Coming Soon!

Posted on January 31, 2015

Our fans may be interested in knowing about this!

Recently, the printing plates for Back to the Stone Age were discovered–stored in their original wooden shipping crates. They are thought to be the only surviving set of plates for any Burroughs book. While most plates were used for as many as 30 printings, these plates were only used once–to print the first edition in 1937. Back to the Stone Age was the only pre-war Burroughs title not reprinted by either ERB Inc. or Grosset & Dunlap. That is until now.

Other offerings will be available as well. Click Here to Find out more!
