MYSTERIES OF UNEXPLORED WORLDS "No. 9 Swanson St."

Matt Baker Illustrated Few Medical-Oriented Tales...

...that didn't involve a hot 'n heavy romance featuring a doctor, nurse, or both!
But, this never-reprinted story is one of them!

From Charlton's Mysteries of Unexplored Worlds #14 (1959), this Joe Gill-scripted, Matt Baker-penciled, and Vince Colletta-inked tale of a medical technician who eneded up at the wrong address wouldn't have been out of place as an episode of The Twilight Zone!

OMNI "Logical-Mathematical" Part 2.5

We Have Already Seen...

...while traveling though the United States seeking out "Ignited" (people who a cosmic event activated latent hyper-abilities), Dr Cecelia Cobbina, whose ability is having her mental processes working, literally at the speed of light, comes across a case of a young "ignited" man accused of shooting a policeman.

The man faces an unpleasant fate at the hands of the policeman's enraged partner until the good doctor points out...

How is this possible?

And now we segue into next issue's story...

Undocumented immigrants with "ignited" powers?

This story by writer Devin Grayson and artists Chris Eliopoulos, Alitha Martinez, Meredith Laxton, and Djibril Morissette-Phan, from Humanoids' Omni #2 (2019) show that the cosmos doesn't discriminate based on race, financial status, or paperwork.
Sadly, many people do!

But Dr Cobbina doesn't!

OMNI "Logical-Mathematical" Part 2

When Last We Left the Doctor Whose Brain Functions are Faster than Light...

...normally, I'd synopsize, but since Mae, the good doctor's aide is keeping a graphic diary, I'll let her explain what's going on...

And now, on with our tale...

This is what we call a "mic drop moment" and tell you we'll pick up the story...

Next Friday!

The series ran ten issues (six in print/on-line and four on-line only) as part of the H1 comics universe.
Sadly, the entire H1 project seems to have ended without a conclusion in 2021.
There were no new issues after that, and the company's website offers no further info beyond the already-published titles.
But we wanted to introduce our audience to the fascinating Dr Cobbina, and suggest they track down the remainder of her saga...

CoronaVirus Comics UNUSUAL TALES "Incredible Advice"

Most of pioneering Black comic artist Matt Baker's work on medical-themed comics...

...usually involved beautiful nurses in torrid romances!

But not this never-reprinted tale...

This story from Charlton's Unusual Tales #20 (1960), written by Joe Gill, penciled by Matt Baker and inked by Vince Colletta has a weird Twilight Zone vibe to it.

Was it coincidence or fate...or something more that lead him to this particular old farmhouse?

Was the kindly old couple a pair of messengers?

And how did his sudden obsession with blueberries come about?
If we knew the answers, this wouldn't be such an...Unusual Tale...would it?

Valentine's Day in the Emergency Room SOUL LOVE "Dedicated Nurse"

This story is unique because it is presented from scans of the hand-drawn art...

...from Jack (King) Kirby's proposed 1970s b/w magazine Soul Love!

We would have presented pages from the printed comic/magazine the way we usually do...except it wasn't published...until very recently!

(We'll explain below!)

NSFW / NSFS note...it is somewhat "politically incorrect"...but not for the reason you might think!

(Hey, look! A "Kirby Quote"!)

You'll note pages 5 and 6 aren't as "clean" as the other pages, which are scanned from the actual original art!

They're scanned from photocopies, which are the only versions I could acquire, but they're legible enough to "fill out" the tale!
(Oh, man! More "Kirby Quotes"!)

Written/penciled/edited by Jack Kirby and inked by Vince Colletta, the story takes the typical attitude of the period about overweight women, though Aleda's not actually obese.

(In fact, I was involved with a woman who had a similar body type, which I found extremely-appealing!)

You can read about the Soul Love magazine project by clicking HERE.
The Soul Love tales were finally published as a full-color comic book-style insert in 2020's Dingbat Love hardcover book, which we conveniently linked-to below!

Thanks to Kracalactaka for the scans.

OMNI "Logical-Mathematical" Conclusion

We Have Already Seen...

...Dr Cecelia Cobbina was affected by a world-wide event referred to as "Ignition", which activated latent (but unused) physical and/or mental abilities in some people.

In her case, it was to amplify her brain's processing capacity to near-infinite levels, making her near-omniscient (hence the "Omni" in the book's title.)

The series ran ten issues (six in print/on-line and four on-line only) as part of the H1 comics universe.
Sadly, the entire H1 project seems to have ended without a conclusion in 2021.
There were no new issues during 2022, and the company's website offers no further info beyond the already-published titles.
But we wanted to introduce our audience to the fascinating Dr Cobbina, and suggest they track down the remainder of her saga...
