Oddball Comics: Four Color (I Aim At The Stars) No. 1148
Despite its title, Dell’s I AIM AT THE STARS is not a comic about a top paparazzi! Instead, read the life story of Dr. Wernher von Braun, the man who entered the USA into the Cold War’s Space Race, in this adaptation of a biographic feature film - starring an actor who would someday be much better-known as one of James Bond’s most fiendish foes! It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that this week’s Oddball Comic aims to please!
So what’s so odd about this extremely rare Dell film adaptation? Well, this military story spans World War II and the “Cold War” between America and Russia, yet doesn’t feature a single battle scene, swastika or mention of Nazis or Communists!
Dr. Wernher von Braun (3/23/12 - 6/16/77) was one of the leading figures in the development of rocket technology during and after World War II. Originally creating Germany’s deadly V-2 rockets, which devastated London during WWII, he eventually entered the United States though the then-secret “Operation Paperclip”. There, he not only became a citizen, but worked on America’s ICBM program and served as director of NASA. Dr. von Braun is generally regarded as the father of the United States’ space program.
The film I AIM AT THE STARS was a somewhat fictionalized account of von Braun’s youth, wartime experiences and rise to front-page prominence during the “Space Race” between America and Russia in the late 1950s and 1960s..
I AIM AT THE STARS (1960) was a Columbia Picture and a Morningside Production, produced by Charles H. Schneer and directed by J. Lee Thompson from a screenplay by Jay Dratler based on a story by George Froeschel, U. Wolder and H. W. John. It starred Curt Jurgens as Dr. Wernher von Braun and Victoria Shaw as Elizabeth Beyer, with Gia Scala, Herbert Lom and James Daly.
Comic books fans probably best know actor/director/journalist Curt Jurgens for his portrayal of James Bond’s foe, shipping magnate Karl Stromberg, in 1977’s THE SPY WHO LOVED ME. But interestingly, the career of the Munich, Germany-born Jurgens (12/12/12 - 6/18/82) echoed that of Dr. Wernher von Braun, being one of the first German-born actors to achieve Hollywood stardom the post-WWII western world. First appearing in German films in 1935, Jurgens was deported to a Hungarian concentration camp by the Nazis in 1944, declared “unreliable” by Dr. Joseph Goebbels. After the war, he returned to acting and directing, and in 1955’s THE DEVIL’S GENERAL, Jurgens portrayed a German WWII hero who renounces the Nazi creed, thereby attracting international attention to his performance. Other notable films that Jurgens appeared in include THE ENEMY BELOW (1957, in his first American production), AND GOD CREATED WOMAN (1956), LORD JIM (1965), THE ASSASSINATION BUREAU (1968), BATTLE OF BRITAIN (1969) and THE MEPHISTO WALTZ (1971), in addition to many others.
This 32-page adaptation of I AIM AT THE STARS was drawn by cartoonist Jack Sparling. It begins in 1925 Berlin, as young Wernher von Braun and his chubby friend Mischke visit a local planetarium:
PLANETARIUM LECTURER:
And someday mankind will reach out to these unknown planets, stars - these unknown worlds! For whatever man dares to dream, he will accomplish!MISCHKE:
Wernher, let’s go! You’ll catch a cold way out there in deep space without a sweater on!WERNHER VON BRAUN:
All right, Mischke, I - I’m coming! You’ll see, Mischke, someday man WILL get to the stars!MISCHKE:
You and your stars! If you want to get there, you’d better start growing tail-feathers!
As they leave the planetarium, Wernher and Mischke spot a poster for the Berlin Avus Speedway that advertises the “speed trial of Fritz von Opel’s rocket-powered automobile”, a concept that excites Wernher so much that he can’t even sleep that night — only daydream. (That is, if it’s possible to daydream at nighttime) The fact that his mother nags Wernher about his math class grades doesn’t particularly help things, either! The following day, at the speedway, Mischke introduces eager Wernher to his friend Anton Reger, who works at the Opel auto factory. When Wernher bombards Anton with questions about the operation of his rocker-powered racecar, von Opel recommends that Wernher read a book by Professor Hermann Oberth called ROCKET TO THE PLANETS. Soon, obsessed with his dreams of space travel, Wernher experiments with model rocketry; in the process, he winds up crashing a rocket into the neighbor’s greenhouse, earning his father’s ire:
MR. VON BRAUN:
Wernher, thanks to your experiments, I’ll have to pay for Becker’s greenhouse! What good are those rockets of yours, anyway?WERNHER VON BRAUN:
Father, what good is a newborn baby? You can’t tell until it grows up, can you?MR. VON BRAUN:
A good question! But anyhow, I insist that if a von Braun shoots off a rocket, it should go where it’s supposed to!WERNHER VON BRAUN:
I’ll try to remember that, sir!
Soon, Wernher receives his own copy of ROCKET TO THE PLANETS in the mail, he’s frustrated to discover that much of its contents are “a lot of mathematics and equations”. He decides to ask the aid of his school’s new math professor, never realizing that the new instructor is Dr. Hermann Oberth himself:
DR. HERMANN OBERTH:
Young man, I’ve checked your record! A boy who fails in Latin and math couldn’t hope to understand this book!WERNHER VON BRAUN:
Then I’ll study harder until I pass!DR. HERMANN OBERTH:
Tell me why all this means so much to you, my boy!WERNHER VON BRAUN:
Because rockets are important, sir! Someday they’ll take mankind to the stars! And someday they’ll build a statue to the man who wrote this book!DR. HERMANN OBERTH:
The man who wrote this book - most people call him a crack-pot! A mad scientist!WERNHER VON BRAUN:
Professor Oberth is a great man! A genius! How can they say such a thing?DR. HERMANN OBERTH:
Calm yourself, my boy. If I don’t mind those names, why should you? All right, Wernher, I’ll help you with your math! And just between us - I hated Latin, too!
As the years pass, Wernher becomes Dr. Oberth’s assistant. One evening, they prepare a rocket motor demonstration for the Rocket Society. While Dr. Oberth, Mischke, Anton Reger and their gorgeous friend Elizabeth huddle behind a wooden shield, Werner insists on risking his neck by their rocket full of liquid oxygen and igniting its motor by hand. The launch proceeds perfectly! Soon, Dr. Oberth introduces Mischke to Captain Dornberger, a German army official who offers to underwrite their further experimentation by providing “unlimited material, laboratory facilities and test equipment”. But as time passes, and Wernher von Braun continues his rocket experiments under Army auspices, the world outside is plunged into the chaos of World War II. But Wernher’s activities have not gone unnoticed outside of Germany. In the offices of British Intelligence, a Major Drummond expresses his suspicions regarding Germany’s “Peenemunde” area:
MAJOR TOFTOY DRUMMOND:
All our information says that enormous quantities of building materials are being poured into that sector! We’ve had persistent reports from Dutch, Danish ad Polish sources that the Germans are building a secret weapon there! I’ll order special photo reconnaissance missions at once, Major! We’ll photograph the Peenemunde area regularly!
Meanwhile, “at that very moment”, Wernher narrowly avoids getting blown out of the sky while flying a small plane to observe his rocket post-launch behavior up close and personal. Later that afternoon, Anton is putting romantic pressure on Elizabeth — who’s now Wernher’s personal secretary - but she’s not particularly receptive to his overtures:
ANTON REGER:
Elizabeth, ever since I got you hat job as Wernher’s secretary, you have almost no time for me at all? May I see you tonight?ELIZABETH BEYER:
You know I’m just as fond of you as ever, Anton! But - well, I just can’t see you tonight!
That night, after screening film footage of their latest rocket model, Wernher locks horns with a German army engineer named Neumann:
DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
The vapor trail shows a structural failure in the control vanes!A failure due to the poor quality of steel in the vane!NEUMANN:
We wouldn’t have so much difficulty getting the proper materials if we had closer contact with the S.S. and the heads of the Party!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
Look, Neumann, I’m a SCIENTIST! I couldn’t care less about Hitler and that Party stuff!NEUMANN:
It’s your attitude toward the people in power that keeps us from getting better materials and more money, von Braun!COLONEL DORNBERGER:
Wernher, this is the third year of the war! The High Command isn’t interested in your dreams of space flight! All they want is a rocket that can reach London!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
Colonel Dornberger, a rocket that can reach the stars can also be aimed at London - if they insist!COLONEL DORNBERGER (whispering):
Let’s build that rocket before Himmler and the S.S. move in on us! They’ve already planted Neumann here! He’d love to have your job!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN (whispering):
I know! If he wasn’t such a good engineer, I could really dislike him!
That weekend, Wernher returns home to help celebrate his mother’s birthday. There, he’s greeted by Maria, his lovely sweetheart, but they’re interrupted by a man named Weber, who badgers the young scientist about joining the “:Party”. (It’s interesting to note that, in this post-WWII Dell comic book movie adaptation, the word “Nazi” nor the image of a swastika are ever used even once!), But soon, Wernher and Maria are out in the garden, where she accepts his proposal of marriage. Later, after the party, Wernher’s mother inquires:
MRS. VON BRAUN:
Wernher, I heard Weber speaking o you! What are you going to do about joining he Party?DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
I don’t have much choice, Mother! Not if I want to stay at Peenemunde!MRS. VON BRAUN:
Long ago they said that witches made a pact with the Devil so they could fly their broomsticks!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
MY broomsticks fly without the Devil’s help! But if they didn’t I’d be willing to sign up with him!
In the weeks that follow, Himmler and his S.S. - particularly in the form of General Kulp - increase their pressure on Wernher von Braun. With each unsuccessful launch, Wernher’s efforts are dismissed as being mere “fireworks” by Kulp. One day, Dr. von Braun and his staff are issued an ultimatum from the High Command: “Unless there will be a successful launching within thirty days, Peenemunde will be closed!” With the pressure on them, the scientist and his staff work harder than ever, night and day. One afternoon, Anton Reger could swear that he sees his beloved Elizabeth using a lipstick-case-camera to photograph the plans for Wernher’s new rocket design!
ANTON REGER (thinking):
Strange! What’s Elizabeth doing at that drawing board?
But Wernher’s work proceeds, and soon, his latest rocket model proves to be a success, exceeding its maximum altitude and delivering a “hit with the force of 50 locomotives at full speed”. But summoned to a meeting with Himmler, Wernher refuses to cooperate with his Nazi (oops!) bosses:
REICH-FUHRER HEINRICH HIMMLER:
My congratulations, von Braun! You will want mass-production for your rockets, no doubt! For best results, I suggest you join my PERSONAL STAFF!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
I’d like to think about it, Reich-Fuhrer HimmlerREICH-FUHRER HEINRICH HIMMLER:
Hesitating, von Braun? Under the S.S., you’d be free of army stupidity and red tape!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
I already AM! Colonel Dornberger is an excellent superior! It was HIGH LEEL indifference that caused our difficulties!REICH-FUHRER HEINRICH HIMMLER:
Better think about it, Doctor! The S.S. runs Germany now - and what the S.S. wants, the S.S. gets!
Sure enough, the following day, Wernher von Braun finds himself under government arrest on charges of treason! Soon, he’s being interrogated by his old “pal”, General Kulp:
GENERAL KULP:
You should have been working on military weaponsyet you were wasting your time planning spaceships like this!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
But scientists MUST plan for the future, General Kulp! Or we’d all still be riding in oxcarts!
For his refusal to cooperate with the Nazi regime, Dr. Wernher von Braun is imprisoned. Fortunately, Colonel Dornberger pulls some behind-the-scenes strings to get his scientist friend released from incarceration:
COLONEL DORNBERGER (talking on the telephone):
I will talk plainly, my Fuhrer! The V-2 may be our last chance for victory! If you want that rocket, you need von Braun to build it!
Returning to Peenemunde, Wernher is soon overseeing production on the V-2 rockets, but confides to his fiance Maria that he has misgivings he’d prefer to ignore:
MARIA:
This rocket weapon of yours, how can you be sure it wouldn’t hit a children’s hospital when you fire it?DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
Maria, we’re fighting a WAR! Women and children are being killed on BOTH SIDES! We CAN’T let ourselves think about it!
Meanwhile, Wernher’s V-2 rockets are reducing London into rubble. One rocket lands near the British Intelligence office:
COLONEL TOFTOY:
That was close! That V-2 is quite a firecracker! I’d like to lay hands on the guy who thought of it!MAJOR TAGGART:
Don’t worry, Toftoy! We’re planning our own fireworks for those V-2 geniuses!
A week later, Elizabeth receives a mysterious phone message containing a signal for her to leave the V-2 factory before British bombers attack Peenemunde, flattening the rocket base. Wernher and Anton manage to survive, aiding the wounded however they can. Meanwhile, from a caf at the edge of town, Elizabeth beholds the awful destruction and - spy or not - she’s compelled to re-enter the base to help her co-workers. By the next morning, the death toll has reached over seven hundred people. In the middle of the ruins left by the bombings, Anton Reger confronts Elizabeth about her loyalties; she admits she’s been working for “the enemy”; she hates the Nazis (oops!) after the S.S. mistakenly murdered her husband in cold blood. Anton is tempted to turn her in, but since he still loves her, he can’t bring himself to do it. Meanwhile, as Germany’s defenses begin to crumble, the U. S. Army prepares to sweep into Peenemunde and grab all of their equipment before the Russians get it. They even have plans for the scientists who developed the V-2 rocket, whether or not they’re considered to be war criminals. Unaware of these plans, Wernher gathers his staff and makes a startling decision:
DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
If we remain here, we’ll be grabbed by the Russians! If we head south, the Americans will capture us! Let’s face it! Within a week we’ll all be prisoners! So I suggest we head south toward the American line!
Wernher’s staff agrees with his decision to surrender - all but Anton Reger:
ANTON REGER:
You can’t do this, Wernher! It’s treason!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
Reger, we can’t throw away all our years of work advancing rocket technology! We’ve got to make our knowledge available for others - and complete the job we started!ANTON REGER:
I’m sorry! I can’t follow your smooth reasoning! I’m a German! I stay here!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
Then, good-bye, Anton!
Soon, Wernher’s convoy of scientists are headed south, arriving at American headquarters to surrender - but they receive a very cold welcome:
MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
Von Braun, you developed the V-2 that killed thousands of innocent people! Don’t you consider yourself a war criminal?DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
In a war, everyone wants his country to win! War itself is a crime - and we are all war criminals!MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
If all you Germans had stood up together, you could have stopped Hitler and all his butchery!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
You never lived under a dictatorship, Major! Every man distrusts his neighbor and fears for his own life! In that respect I am guilty of being human!MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
You are guilty of putting an infernal weapon into the hands of the most evil government in the world! For that you will be TRIED and HUNG!
Fortunately, Wernher is made an alternate offer:
COLONEL TOFTOY:
Doctor, we recognize your achievements! If you want to go to the United States to continue your research, we have the resources!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
I’m happy to agree, sir! That’s why I surrendered! But I can’t make rockets by myself!COLONEL TOFTOY:
We have other volunteers, Doctor! You’ll all be sent to America on probation! You’ll have to face a lot of criticism!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
We didn’t expect to be received with open arms!
Wernher learns that this deal was based on the recommendation of one of an undercover U. S. agent, who’s waiting in the next room to identify him. After he’s gone, Wernher’s the topic of a heated conversation:
MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
Colonel, you don’t mean they’re not even going to put him ON TRIAL?COLONEL TOFTOY:
Bill, we’ve been friends for a long time! Try not to take this as something personal!MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
Listen! One of his V-2’s killed my wife and child in London! It’s downright immoral to use him! He’s our enemy!COLONEL TOFTOY:
Yet, when a man is as brilliant as von Braun, I guess he has a special kind of value of his own!MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
Colonel, as a newspaper man before the war I fought the von Brauns of this world - and I can’t stop fighting them now!
Next door, Wernher discovers that the “enemy agent” who’s saved him is none other than Elizabeth Beyer! As she checks off a list - which includes Dr. Hermann Oberth - she tearfully realizes that Anton Reger isn’t among them. Soon, plans are set in motion to relocate the scientist-prisoners:
COLONEL TOFTOY:
All right, Taggart, here are the orders to ship von Braun and his group to the White Sands proving grounds by plane!MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
I was going to suggest passage on a leaky boat, sir!
Accompanied by Taggart and Elizabeth, the captives arrive at White Sands and resume their rocket research. But first, Wernher’s former secretary attempts to clear the air between them:
ELIZABETH BEYER:
Gentlemen, we’re going to work together, so let us speak of the past and get it over with! It will be easier if we can be friends!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
We’re not blaming you, Elizabeth! The stupidity of war is not your fault or ours! You did what you felt you had to do!
Under the resentful observation of Major Taggart, Wernher and his transplanted staff soon make some significant advances with their rocketry development. But no matter what he achieves, Wernher is unable to impress Taggart of his sincerity:
MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
Staying late again, Doctor? I suppose you’re working overtime to earn your citizenship!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
Taggart, I can’t help how you feel about me, but I was brought here to build rockets, and that’s what I’m doing!MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
I hope that someday one of your rockets blows up and that you’re as close to it as my wife and kid were in London!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
I’m sorry about that, Taggart, but I’m not responsible for what happened!MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
Then who was responsible? Hitler? Himmler? Everyone but you, eh?ELIZABETH BEYER:
Bill! You’ve got to stop this!MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
These scientists! They hold the whole world in their hands, but men and women mean nothing to them! They have no loyalty to anything but their own research!ELIZABETH BEYER:
Bill, you just can’t go on living with this hatred!
But as the months pass, the general attitude toward the German scientists finally softens and their status legalized, which eventually leads to citizenship. Maria joins Wernher at White Sands, where he unsuccessfully asks for funding to build “the world’s first satellite orbiting the Earth”. In June, 1950, the Korean War necessitates that Wernher’s group transfers to a new army installation at Redstone Arsenal. Soon, Major Taggart pays a visit to Wernher and his new bride Maria:
MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
Your traveling orders, von Braun! Not long ago you made rockets to fire at us! Now you’ll be building rockets to fire at our enemy!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
Do you prefer that I sit back and do nothing, and allow American to lose?MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
How would that affect you, Doctor? You’d be right there working for the Russians!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
If you feel that way, why are you wearing that uniform?MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
I won’t be wearing it after today! I’ve got a job as a TV news commentator! But you’ll be hearing from me! I’ll be making it hot for you!MARIA VON BRAUN:
Taggart is right, Wernher! You’ll be making rockets for war again! You could REFUSE! Others have!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
Can’t you see? I must stay with my work! I can’t fall behind! Progress, research, knowledge are MY LIFE!
As Wernher’s work proceeds, he and his staff are commended for their design of the Redstone missile. But Taggart now uses his nationally televised forum to criticize Dr. von Braun’s goals:
EX-MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
Taxpayers must demand that their hard-earned dollars be spent for more hospitals, schools and higher salaries for teachers, rather than on a wasteful rocket program!
When the Korean War is over, the government cuts the funding for Wernher’s space research. In response, he accepts an invitation to appear on live television in a debate with William Taggart regarding the worth of the exploration of outer space:
EX-MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
Rocket experiments mean war! We must solve human problems before we think of conquering space!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
Our future lies in space! The country with the first satellite will capture the world’s imagination!EX-MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
Von Braun talks of pure science, but he is the man responsible for the bombing of London!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
Man must learn to live with atomic power and rockets, or he will perish!
When the Army missile program gets a new chief, General Medaris, they petition the Pentagon to participate in an attempt to collect and analyze samples of the upper atmosphere with a satellite. Things look good for Wernher and his staff, but they’re crushed when the Navy gets the gig instead. Taggart shows up to gloat over his old enemy’s defeat, but Elizabeth convinces him to instead offer his sympathies to Dr. von Braun, who reacts badly to Taggart’s obvious insincerity. In October, 1957, Wernher - and the entire United States - receives an even more bitter blow as Russia launches the first artificial satellite into orbit around the Earth! But a third stroke of bad luck turns out to be in Wernher von Braun’s favor when the Navy’s Vanguard missile - the one to be used in the space mission that they lost out on - explodes on the launch pad. Frustrated and embarrassed, the Pentagon turns to Wernher for help, asking him to initiate a crash program to enter the “space race” between America and Russia. At Redstone, Wernher and his crew work on a new satellite-carrying rocket, the JUPITER-C, which is launched into space on January 31st, 1958. The three-stage rocket blasts off and its operation performs flawlessly - with the exception of a six-minute lag — as it settles its satellite into orbit. Even Bill Taggart is impressed:
EX-MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
Well, you did it! You know, von Braun, I’ve almost grown to like you!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
I could say the same about you, Taggart, except that one never really likes one’s conscience!
Then Taggart gestures toward his heart:
EX-MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
But I’ll never really understand what have you scientists got in here - in the place of human values?DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
Concern for the future, perhaps! The universe is waiting for us - and we must explore it! That’s what makes us men - not vegetables!EX-MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
Good-bye, von Braun, and good luck with the universe!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
Thank you, Taggart! I’ll need it!
This film adaptation ends on an optimistic note, with a panel of Dr. Wernher von Braun observing another rocket launch:
DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN (thinking):
Well, we’re catching up at last! The great powers must ultimately be equal in space! It is this balance of power which will secure peace and allow mankind to reach the stars!

(Comic book making software) Oddball Comics: Four Color (I Aim At The Stars) No. 1148
Oddball Comics: Four Color (I Aim At The Stars) No. 1148
Despite its title, Dell’s I AIM AT THE STARS is not a comic about a top paparazzi! Instead, read the life story of Dr. Wernher von Braun, the man who entered the USA into the Cold War’s Space Race, in this adaptation of a biographic feature film - starring an actor who would someday be much better-known as one of James Bond’s most fiendish foes! It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that this week’s Oddball Comic aims to please!
So what’s so odd about this extremely rare Dell film adaptation? Well, this military story spans World War II and the “Cold War” between America and Russia, yet doesn’t feature a single battle scene, swastika or mention of Nazis or Communists!
Dr. Wernher von Braun (3/23/12 - 6/16/77) was one of the leading figures in the development of rocket technology during and after World War II. Originally creating Germany’s deadly V-2 rockets, which devastated London during WWII, he eventually entered the United States though the then-secret “Operation Paperclip”. There, he not only became a citizen, but worked on America’s ICBM program and served as director of NASA. Dr. von Braun is generally regarded as the father of the United States’ space program.
The film I AIM AT THE STARS was a somewhat fictionalized account of von Braun’s youth, wartime experiences and rise to front-page prominence during the “Space Race” between America and Russia in the late 1950s and 1960s..
I AIM AT THE STARS (1960) was a Columbia Picture and a Morningside Production, produced by Charles H. Schneer and directed by J. Lee Thompson from a screenplay by Jay Dratler based on a story by George Froeschel, U. Wolder and H. W. John. It starred Curt Jurgens as Dr. Wernher von Braun and Victoria Shaw as Elizabeth Beyer, with Gia Scala, Herbert Lom and James Daly.
Comic books fans probably best know actor/director/journalist Curt Jurgens for his portrayal of James Bond’s foe, shipping magnate Karl Stromberg, in 1977’s THE SPY WHO LOVED ME. But interestingly, the career of the Munich, Germany-born Jurgens (12/12/12 - 6/18/82) echoed that of Dr. Wernher von Braun, being one of the first German-born actors to achieve Hollywood stardom the post-WWII western world. First appearing in German films in 1935, Jurgens was deported to a Hungarian concentration camp by the Nazis in 1944, declared “unreliable” by Dr. Joseph Goebbels. After the war, he returned to acting and directing, and in 1955’s THE DEVIL’S GENERAL, Jurgens portrayed a German WWII hero who renounces the Nazi creed, thereby attracting international attention to his performance. Other notable films that Jurgens appeared in include THE ENEMY BELOW (1957, in his first American production), AND GOD CREATED WOMAN (1956), LORD JIM (1965), THE ASSASSINATION BUREAU (1968), BATTLE OF BRITAIN (1969) and THE MEPHISTO WALTZ (1971), in addition to many others.
This 32-page adaptation of I AIM AT THE STARS was drawn by cartoonist Jack Sparling. It begins in 1925 Berlin, as young Wernher von Braun and his chubby friend Mischke visit a local planetarium:
PLANETARIUM LECTURER:
And someday mankind will reach out to these unknown planets, stars - these unknown worlds! For whatever man dares to dream, he will accomplish!MISCHKE:
Wernher, let’s go! You’ll catch a cold way out there in deep space without a sweater on!WERNHER VON BRAUN:
All right, Mischke, I - I’m coming! You’ll see, Mischke, someday man WILL get to the stars!MISCHKE:
You and your stars! If you want to get there, you’d better start growing tail-feathers!
As they leave the planetarium, Wernher and Mischke spot a poster for the Berlin Avus Speedway that advertises the “speed trial of Fritz von Opel’s rocket-powered automobile”, a concept that excites Wernher so much that he can’t even sleep that night — only daydream. (That is, if it’s possible to daydream at nighttime) The fact that his mother nags Wernher about his math class grades doesn’t particularly help things, either! The following day, at the speedway, Mischke introduces eager Wernher to his friend Anton Reger, who works at the Opel auto factory. When Wernher bombards Anton with questions about the operation of his rocker-powered racecar, von Opel recommends that Wernher read a book by Professor Hermann Oberth called ROCKET TO THE PLANETS. Soon, obsessed with his dreams of space travel, Wernher experiments with model rocketry; in the process, he winds up crashing a rocket into the neighbor’s greenhouse, earning his father’s ire:
MR. VON BRAUN:
Wernher, thanks to your experiments, I’ll have to pay for Becker’s greenhouse! What good are those rockets of yours, anyway?WERNHER VON BRAUN:
Father, what good is a newborn baby? You can’t tell until it grows up, can you?MR. VON BRAUN:
A good question! But anyhow, I insist that if a von Braun shoots off a rocket, it should go where it’s supposed to!WERNHER VON BRAUN:
I’ll try to remember that, sir!
Soon, Wernher receives his own copy of ROCKET TO THE PLANETS in the mail, he’s frustrated to discover that much of its contents are “a lot of mathematics and equations”. He decides to ask the aid of his school’s new math professor, never realizing that the new instructor is Dr. Hermann Oberth himself:
DR. HERMANN OBERTH:
Young man, I’ve checked your record! A boy who fails in Latin and math couldn’t hope to understand this book!WERNHER VON BRAUN:
Then I’ll study harder until I pass!DR. HERMANN OBERTH:
Tell me why all this means so much to you, my boy!WERNHER VON BRAUN:
Because rockets are important, sir! Someday they’ll take mankind to the stars! And someday they’ll build a statue to the man who wrote this book!DR. HERMANN OBERTH:
The man who wrote this book - most people call him a crack-pot! A mad scientist!WERNHER VON BRAUN:
Professor Oberth is a great man! A genius! How can they say such a thing?DR. HERMANN OBERTH:
Calm yourself, my boy. If I don’t mind those names, why should you? All right, Wernher, I’ll help you with your math! And just between us - I hated Latin, too!
As the years pass, Wernher becomes Dr. Oberth’s assistant. One evening, they prepare a rocket motor demonstration for the Rocket Society. While Dr. Oberth, Mischke, Anton Reger and their gorgeous friend Elizabeth huddle behind a wooden shield, Werner insists on risking his neck by their rocket full of liquid oxygen and igniting its motor by hand. The launch proceeds perfectly! Soon, Dr. Oberth introduces Mischke to Captain Dornberger, a German army official who offers to underwrite their further experimentation by providing “unlimited material, laboratory facilities and test equipment”. But as time passes, and Wernher von Braun continues his rocket experiments under Army auspices, the world outside is plunged into the chaos of World War II. But Wernher’s activities have not gone unnoticed outside of Germany. In the offices of British Intelligence, a Major Drummond expresses his suspicions regarding Germany’s “Peenemunde” area:
MAJOR TOFTOY DRUMMOND:
All our information says that enormous quantities of building materials are being poured into that sector! We’ve had persistent reports from Dutch, Danish ad Polish sources that the Germans are building a secret weapon there! I’ll order special photo reconnaissance missions at once, Major! We’ll photograph the Peenemunde area regularly!
Meanwhile, “at that very moment”, Wernher narrowly avoids getting blown out of the sky while flying a small plane to observe his rocket post-launch behavior up close and personal. Later that afternoon, Anton is putting romantic pressure on Elizabeth — who’s now Wernher’s personal secretary - but she’s not particularly receptive to his overtures:
ANTON REGER:
Elizabeth, ever since I got you hat job as Wernher’s secretary, you have almost no time for me at all? May I see you tonight?ELIZABETH BEYER:
You know I’m just as fond of you as ever, Anton! But - well, I just can’t see you tonight!
That night, after screening film footage of their latest rocket model, Wernher locks horns with a German army engineer named Neumann:
DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
The vapor trail shows a structural failure in the control vanes!A failure due to the poor quality of steel in the vane!NEUMANN:
We wouldn’t have so much difficulty getting the proper materials if we had closer contact with the S.S. and the heads of the Party!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
Look, Neumann, I’m a SCIENTIST! I couldn’t care less about Hitler and that Party stuff!NEUMANN:
It’s your attitude toward the people in power that keeps us from getting better materials and more money, von Braun!COLONEL DORNBERGER:
Wernher, this is the third year of the war! The High Command isn’t interested in your dreams of space flight! All they want is a rocket that can reach London!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
Colonel Dornberger, a rocket that can reach the stars can also be aimed at London - if they insist!COLONEL DORNBERGER (whispering):
Let’s build that rocket before Himmler and the S.S. move in on us! They’ve already planted Neumann here! He’d love to have your job!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN (whispering):
I know! If he wasn’t such a good engineer, I could really dislike him!
That weekend, Wernher returns home to help celebrate his mother’s birthday. There, he’s greeted by Maria, his lovely sweetheart, but they’re interrupted by a man named Weber, who badgers the young scientist about joining the “:Party”. (It’s interesting to note that, in this post-WWII Dell comic book movie adaptation, the word “Nazi” nor the image of a swastika are ever used even once!), But soon, Wernher and Maria are out in the garden, where she accepts his proposal of marriage. Later, after the party, Wernher’s mother inquires:
MRS. VON BRAUN:
Wernher, I heard Weber speaking o you! What are you going to do about joining he Party?DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
I don’t have much choice, Mother! Not if I want to stay at Peenemunde!MRS. VON BRAUN:
Long ago they said that witches made a pact with the Devil so they could fly their broomsticks!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
MY broomsticks fly without the Devil’s help! But if they didn’t I’d be willing to sign up with him!
In the weeks that follow, Himmler and his S.S. - particularly in the form of General Kulp - increase their pressure on Wernher von Braun. With each unsuccessful launch, Wernher’s efforts are dismissed as being mere “fireworks” by Kulp. One day, Dr. von Braun and his staff are issued an ultimatum from the High Command: “Unless there will be a successful launching within thirty days, Peenemunde will be closed!” With the pressure on them, the scientist and his staff work harder than ever, night and day. One afternoon, Anton Reger could swear that he sees his beloved Elizabeth using a lipstick-case-camera to photograph the plans for Wernher’s new rocket design!
ANTON REGER (thinking):
Strange! What’s Elizabeth doing at that drawing board?
But Wernher’s work proceeds, and soon, his latest rocket model proves to be a success, exceeding its maximum altitude and delivering a “hit with the force of 50 locomotives at full speed”. But summoned to a meeting with Himmler, Wernher refuses to cooperate with his Nazi (oops!) bosses:
REICH-FUHRER HEINRICH HIMMLER:
My congratulations, von Braun! You will want mass-production for your rockets, no doubt! For best results, I suggest you join my PERSONAL STAFF!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
I’d like to think about it, Reich-Fuhrer HimmlerREICH-FUHRER HEINRICH HIMMLER:
Hesitating, von Braun? Under the S.S., you’d be free of army stupidity and red tape!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
I already AM! Colonel Dornberger is an excellent superior! It was HIGH LEEL indifference that caused our difficulties!REICH-FUHRER HEINRICH HIMMLER:
Better think about it, Doctor! The S.S. runs Germany now - and what the S.S. wants, the S.S. gets!
Sure enough, the following day, Wernher von Braun finds himself under government arrest on charges of treason! Soon, he’s being interrogated by his old “pal”, General Kulp:
GENERAL KULP:
You should have been working on military weaponsyet you were wasting your time planning spaceships like this!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
But scientists MUST plan for the future, General Kulp! Or we’d all still be riding in oxcarts!
For his refusal to cooperate with the Nazi regime, Dr. Wernher von Braun is imprisoned. Fortunately, Colonel Dornberger pulls some behind-the-scenes strings to get his scientist friend released from incarceration:
COLONEL DORNBERGER (talking on the telephone):
I will talk plainly, my Fuhrer! The V-2 may be our last chance for victory! If you want that rocket, you need von Braun to build it!
Returning to Peenemunde, Wernher is soon overseeing production on the V-2 rockets, but confides to his fiance Maria that he has misgivings he’d prefer to ignore:
MARIA:
This rocket weapon of yours, how can you be sure it wouldn’t hit a children’s hospital when you fire it?DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
Maria, we’re fighting a WAR! Women and children are being killed on BOTH SIDES! We CAN’T let ourselves think about it!
Meanwhile, Wernher’s V-2 rockets are reducing London into rubble. One rocket lands near the British Intelligence office:
COLONEL TOFTOY:
That was close! That V-2 is quite a firecracker! I’d like to lay hands on the guy who thought of it!MAJOR TAGGART:
Don’t worry, Toftoy! We’re planning our own fireworks for those V-2 geniuses!
A week later, Elizabeth receives a mysterious phone message containing a signal for her to leave the V-2 factory before British bombers attack Peenemunde, flattening the rocket base. Wernher and Anton manage to survive, aiding the wounded however they can. Meanwhile, from a caf at the edge of town, Elizabeth beholds the awful destruction and - spy or not - she’s compelled to re-enter the base to help her co-workers. By the next morning, the death toll has reached over seven hundred people. In the middle of the ruins left by the bombings, Anton Reger confronts Elizabeth about her loyalties; she admits she’s been working for “the enemy”; she hates the Nazis (oops!) after the S.S. mistakenly murdered her husband in cold blood. Anton is tempted to turn her in, but since he still loves her, he can’t bring himself to do it. Meanwhile, as Germany’s defenses begin to crumble, the U. S. Army prepares to sweep into Peenemunde and grab all of their equipment before the Russians get it. They even have plans for the scientists who developed the V-2 rocket, whether or not they’re considered to be war criminals. Unaware of these plans, Wernher gathers his staff and makes a startling decision:
DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
If we remain here, we’ll be grabbed by the Russians! If we head south, the Americans will capture us! Let’s face it! Within a week we’ll all be prisoners! So I suggest we head south toward the American line!
Wernher’s staff agrees with his decision to surrender - all but Anton Reger:
ANTON REGER:
You can’t do this, Wernher! It’s treason!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
Reger, we can’t throw away all our years of work advancing rocket technology! We’ve got to make our knowledge available for others - and complete the job we started!ANTON REGER:
I’m sorry! I can’t follow your smooth reasoning! I’m a German! I stay here!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
Then, good-bye, Anton!
Soon, Wernher’s convoy of scientists are headed south, arriving at American headquarters to surrender - but they receive a very cold welcome:
MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
Von Braun, you developed the V-2 that killed thousands of innocent people! Don’t you consider yourself a war criminal?DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
In a war, everyone wants his country to win! War itself is a crime - and we are all war criminals!MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
If all you Germans had stood up together, you could have stopped Hitler and all his butchery!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
You never lived under a dictatorship, Major! Every man distrusts his neighbor and fears for his own life! In that respect I am guilty of being human!MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
You are guilty of putting an infernal weapon into the hands of the most evil government in the world! For that you will be TRIED and HUNG!
Fortunately, Wernher is made an alternate offer:
COLONEL TOFTOY:
Doctor, we recognize your achievements! If you want to go to the United States to continue your research, we have the resources!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
I’m happy to agree, sir! That’s why I surrendered! But I can’t make rockets by myself!COLONEL TOFTOY:
We have other volunteers, Doctor! You’ll all be sent to America on probation! You’ll have to face a lot of criticism!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
We didn’t expect to be received with open arms!
Wernher learns that this deal was based on the recommendation of one of an undercover U. S. agent, who’s waiting in the next room to identify him. After he’s gone, Wernher’s the topic of a heated conversation:
MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
Colonel, you don’t mean they’re not even going to put him ON TRIAL?COLONEL TOFTOY:
Bill, we’ve been friends for a long time! Try not to take this as something personal!MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
Listen! One of his V-2’s killed my wife and child in London! It’s downright immoral to use him! He’s our enemy!COLONEL TOFTOY:
Yet, when a man is as brilliant as von Braun, I guess he has a special kind of value of his own!MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
Colonel, as a newspaper man before the war I fought the von Brauns of this world - and I can’t stop fighting them now!
Next door, Wernher discovers that the “enemy agent” who’s saved him is none other than Elizabeth Beyer! As she checks off a list - which includes Dr. Hermann Oberth - she tearfully realizes that Anton Reger isn’t among them. Soon, plans are set in motion to relocate the scientist-prisoners:
COLONEL TOFTOY:
All right, Taggart, here are the orders to ship von Braun and his group to the White Sands proving grounds by plane!MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
I was going to suggest passage on a leaky boat, sir!
Accompanied by Taggart and Elizabeth, the captives arrive at White Sands and resume their rocket research. But first, Wernher’s former secretary attempts to clear the air between them:
ELIZABETH BEYER:
Gentlemen, we’re going to work together, so let us speak of the past and get it over with! It will be easier if we can be friends!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
We’re not blaming you, Elizabeth! The stupidity of war is not your fault or ours! You did what you felt you had to do!
Under the resentful observation of Major Taggart, Wernher and his transplanted staff soon make some significant advances with their rocketry development. But no matter what he achieves, Wernher is unable to impress Taggart of his sincerity:
MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
Staying late again, Doctor? I suppose you’re working overtime to earn your citizenship!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
Taggart, I can’t help how you feel about me, but I was brought here to build rockets, and that’s what I’m doing!MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
I hope that someday one of your rockets blows up and that you’re as close to it as my wife and kid were in London!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
I’m sorry about that, Taggart, but I’m not responsible for what happened!MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
Then who was responsible? Hitler? Himmler? Everyone but you, eh?ELIZABETH BEYER:
Bill! You’ve got to stop this!MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
These scientists! They hold the whole world in their hands, but men and women mean nothing to them! They have no loyalty to anything but their own research!ELIZABETH BEYER:
Bill, you just can’t go on living with this hatred!
But as the months pass, the general attitude toward the German scientists finally softens and their status legalized, which eventually leads to citizenship. Maria joins Wernher at White Sands, where he unsuccessfully asks for funding to build “the world’s first satellite orbiting the Earth”. In June, 1950, the Korean War necessitates that Wernher’s group transfers to a new army installation at Redstone Arsenal. Soon, Major Taggart pays a visit to Wernher and his new bride Maria:
MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
Your traveling orders, von Braun! Not long ago you made rockets to fire at us! Now you’ll be building rockets to fire at our enemy!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
Do you prefer that I sit back and do nothing, and allow American to lose?MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
How would that affect you, Doctor? You’d be right there working for the Russians!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
If you feel that way, why are you wearing that uniform?MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
I won’t be wearing it after today! I’ve got a job as a TV news commentator! But you’ll be hearing from me! I’ll be making it hot for you!MARIA VON BRAUN:
Taggart is right, Wernher! You’ll be making rockets for war again! You could REFUSE! Others have!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
Can’t you see? I must stay with my work! I can’t fall behind! Progress, research, knowledge are MY LIFE!
As Wernher’s work proceeds, he and his staff are commended for their design of the Redstone missile. But Taggart now uses his nationally televised forum to criticize Dr. von Braun’s goals:
EX-MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
Taxpayers must demand that their hard-earned dollars be spent for more hospitals, schools and higher salaries for teachers, rather than on a wasteful rocket program!
When the Korean War is over, the government cuts the funding for Wernher’s space research. In response, he accepts an invitation to appear on live television in a debate with William Taggart regarding the worth of the exploration of outer space:
EX-MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
Rocket experiments mean war! We must solve human problems before we think of conquering space!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
Our future lies in space! The country with the first satellite will capture the world’s imagination!EX-MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
Von Braun talks of pure science, but he is the man responsible for the bombing of London!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
Man must learn to live with atomic power and rockets, or he will perish!
When the Army missile program gets a new chief, General Medaris, they petition the Pentagon to participate in an attempt to collect and analyze samples of the upper atmosphere with a satellite. Things look good for Wernher and his staff, but they’re crushed when the Navy gets the gig instead. Taggart shows up to gloat over his old enemy’s defeat, but Elizabeth convinces him to instead offer his sympathies to Dr. von Braun, who reacts badly to Taggart’s obvious insincerity. In October, 1957, Wernher - and the entire United States - receives an even more bitter blow as Russia launches the first artificial satellite into orbit around the Earth! But a third stroke of bad luck turns out to be in Wernher von Braun’s favor when the Navy’s Vanguard missile - the one to be used in the space mission that they lost out on - explodes on the launch pad. Frustrated and embarrassed, the Pentagon turns to Wernher for help, asking him to initiate a crash program to enter the “space race” between America and Russia. At Redstone, Wernher and his crew work on a new satellite-carrying rocket, the JUPITER-C, which is launched into space on January 31st, 1958. The three-stage rocket blasts off and its operation performs flawlessly - with the exception of a six-minute lag — as it settles its satellite into orbit. Even Bill Taggart is impressed:
EX-MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
Well, you did it! You know, von Braun, I’ve almost grown to like you!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
I could say the same about you, Taggart, except that one never really likes one’s conscience!
Then Taggart gestures toward his heart:
EX-MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
But I’ll never really understand what have you scientists got in here - in the place of human values?DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
Concern for the future, perhaps! The universe is waiting for us - and we must explore it! That’s what makes us men - not vegetables!EX-MAJOR WILLIAM TAGGART:
Good-bye, von Braun, and good luck with the universe!DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN:
Thank you, Taggart! I’ll need it!
This film adaptation ends on an optimistic note, with a panel of Dr. Wernher von Braun observing another rocket launch:
DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN (thinking):
Well, we’re catching up at last! The great powers must ultimately be equal in space! It is this balance of power which will secure peace and allow mankind to reach the stars!

Oddball Comics: Popeye And Communication And Media Careers E-3
In all of comicdom, there’s probably nobody who routinely butchers the English language more than Popeye The Sailor! So just what is the salty-mouthed seafarer think he’s doing by dispensing information and advice on how to earn a lotta spinach in jobs in the communications industry? Has Popeye taken so many hits to the head that he’s forgotten that “I yam what I yam”? Find out in POPEYE AND COMMUNICATION AND MEDIA CAREERS, an Oddball educational giveaway comic that’s guaranteed to blow you down!
Popeye The Sailor — the creation of cartoonist Elzie Crisler Segar (1894 - 1938) - was introduced in the King Features syndicated newspaper comic strip, THIMBLE THEATRE on January 17, 1929 (nearly ten years into the strip’s run). The strip - created at the urging of newspaper tycoon William Randolph Hearst — originally concerned itself with the exploits of two adventurers, Castor Oyl and his pal Ham Gravy. Popeye was introduced (as a non-recurring character) when the duo required nautical transportation to a casino located on remote Dice Island, where they planned to strike it rich with their magical Whiffle Hen named Bernice. Segar - whose signature included a cartoon of a cigar butt - discovered that he enjoyed writing and drawing the pugnacious sailor, so much so that he extended his presence in THIMBLE THEATRE. According to COMICS BETWEEN THE PANELS, a verbal history of comics by Steve Duin and Mike Richardson, Segar once expressed that “Popeye is much more than a goofy comic character to me. He represents all my emotions, and he is an outlet for them. I’d like to cut loose and knock the heck out of a lot of people, but my good judgment and size hold me back.” Soon after his introduction, the squinty-orbed seaman became THIMBLE THEATRE’s star character. Although scrawny overall and without a tooth in his head, the squinty-eyed seafarer had muscular forearms the size of hams, possessed amazing strength and was nearly indestructible. Never one to shirk from a challenge, Popeye’s super-abilities were originally attributed to contact with the Whiffle Hen, but was eventually linked to the sailor man’s intake of spinach. (In the 1930s, Popeye’s dependence on the leafy legume supposedly increased spinach consumption by 33%!) In addition to his emaciated girlfriend, Olive Oyl (Castor’s sister and originally, Ham Gravy’s girlfriend) THIMBLE THEATER’s cast eventually grew to include such classic characters as hamburger-thieving J. Wellington Wimpy, Eugene the Jeep (from the 5th Dimension), Poopdeck Pappy (Popeye’s long-lost father), the sinister Sea Hag, the brutal thugs Bluto and Brutus, enigmatic Alice The Goon, demented inventor O.G. Wotasnozzle and many others. When Segar died tragically young (from leukemia), THIMBLE THEATRE - known now in many newspapers simply as “Popeye” - carried on under Charles H. “Doc” Winner and later by Segar’s former assistants, Bela Zaboly and Forrest “Bud” Sagendorf. Before Sagendorf took over production of the comic strip entirely in 1958, he wrote and drew dozens of memorable POPEYE comic books, variously published by Dell, Gold Key, King and Charlton, among others. When the POPEYE strip was re-launched in the mid-1980s, it was written and drawn by former underground cartoonist Bobby London; his version of the sailor man combined Segar’s classic approach with a distinctive contemporary flavor. Unfortunately, syndicate politics ended Bobby’s outstanding run on POPEYE far too prematurely. Since then, chameleon-like “ghost” cartoonist Hy Eisman has been grinding out new Sunday strips for King Features, which currently reprints old POPEYE dailies by Sagendorf.
The Fleischer Studio first animated Popeye in a tryout guest appearance in the 1933 cartoon short BETTY BOOP MEETS POPEYE THE SAILOR. (Other King Features comic strip characters to receive this treatment were Otto Soglo’s “Little King” and Carl Anderson’s “Henry”.) The animated Popeye met with such interest that the Fleischer brothers, Max and Dave, starred him in the first of hundreds of his own theatrical cartoon shorts, I YAM WHAT I YAM, later that year. The Fleischer also produced three memorable (and rather experimental) “Popeye” featurettes, POPEYE THE SAILOR MEETS SINDBAD THE SAILOR, POPEYE THE SAILOR MEETS ALI BABA AND THE FORTY THIEVES and POPEYE THE SAILOR MEETS ALADDIN AND HIS MAGIC LAMP. Studio Renamed Famous Studios when Paramount Pictures bought them in 1942, the cartoon studio continued to produce new theatrical “Popeye” cartoons through 1957. In the early 1960s, a batch of new low budget “Popeye” cartoons was made in “limited animation” for television by a number of studios. A bizarre animated “special” titled POPEYE AND THE MAN WHO HATED LAUGHTER - featuring dozens of other King Features characters — was produced by Hal (MILTON THE MONSTER) Seegar (no relation) for ABC’s SATURDAY SUPERSTAR MOVIE. Hanna-Barbera also made new “Popeye” TV cartoons in the 1970s and 1980s, including the notorious POPEYE AND SON, featuring the adventures of the offspring of a now-married Popeye and Olive. 1980 saw POPEYE as a live-action feature film, written by cartoonist (and former assistant to Will Eisner on THE SPIRIT) Jules Feiffer, directed by Robert Altman, with music by Harry Nilsson and starring Robin Williams as Popeye, Shelly Duval as Olive Oyl, Paul Smith as Bluto, Ray Walston as Poopdeck Pappy and Paul Dooley as J. Wellington Wimpy, In recent years, Popeye has appeared in video games, on slot machines and in a CG made-for-television special.
POPEYE AND COMMUNICATION AND MEDIA CAREERS was one of fifteen specially-produced educational “custom comics” in the CAREER EDUCATIONAL SERIES, prepared, packaged and printed by Charlton Comics and published by King Features and sold directly to school systems. Titles in this series included:
E-1: POPEYE AND HEALTH CAREERS
E-2: POPEYE AND ENVIRONMENTAL CAREERS
E-3: POPEYE AND COMMUNICATION AND MEDIA CAREERS
E-4: POPEYE AND TRANSPORTATION CAREERS
E-5: POPEYE AND CONSTRUCTION CAREERS
E-6: POPEYE AND CONSUMER AND HOMEMAKING CAREERS
E-7: POPEYE AND MANUFACTURING CAREERS
E-8: POPEYE AND HOSPITALITY AND RECREATION CAREERS
E-9: POPEYE AND MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION CAREERS
E-10: POPEYE AND BUSINESS AND OFFICE CAREERS
E-11: POPEYE AND PUBLIC SERVICE CAREERS
E-12: POPEYE AND PERSONAL SERVICE CAREERS
E-13: POPEYE AND MARINE SCIENCE CAREERS
E-14: POPEYE AND FINE ARTS AND HUMANITIES CAREERS
E-15: POPEYE AND AGRI-BUSINESS AND NATURAL RESOURCES CAREERS
Exactly why anyone at the King Features Syndicate thought that Popeye was the ideal character to extol the virtues of such inappropriate careers (with the exception of POPEYE AND MARINE SCIENCE CAREERS) is anyone’s guess. But when you consider that the “real” Popeye seems unable to replicate the English language with any sort of proper grammar or “pronunskiashun”, it’s especially ironic (and Oddball) to have the sailor-man hosting his own comic on COMMUNICATION AND MEDIA CAREERS
POPEYE AND COMMUNICATION AND MEDIA CAREERS’ untitled, 31-page cover-story was written by Joe Gill and drawn by Ray Dirgo. It begins on its inside-front-cover, as Popeye launches into an exhaustively long-winded introduction - in perfect English, no less - to Swee’pea:
POPEYE:
In this country, we get more information than any other people on Earth, Swee’pea, and I am going to explain to you how we get our information. We can talk to people almost anywhere in the world with this telephone, Swee’pea. Communications help to bring people of the world closer together and increase our understanding of people of other nations. We can find what’s happening all over the world from the MEDIAthe word they use for television, radio, newspapers, magazines, movies, tapes and records. Besides the news, Swee’pea, television and radio provide information and entertainment for millions! The entertainment field, of course, is another field with many careers to choose from. More than TWO MILLION PEOPLE work in communications and media, Swee’pea, and many more will be employed in television, radio, newspapers, magazines and the telephone industry in the future. No matter what jobs thee people do, they will all play a part in bringing information to people and helping everyone to communicate with one another. There are many different jobs for men and women, young and old, and anyone can find a job if he is interested and shows he has the ability.SWEE’PEA:
What will I have to know to get one of these jobs, Popeye?POPEYE:
That depends on the kind of job that you want and the type that will make you happy, Swee’pea.
Then Popeye takes Swee’pea into the city, showing him examples of the three largest groups of jobs in communications: print, broadcast and telephone/telegraph. (It’s interesting to note that this comic was published long before the concept of the Internet!) Then the squinty-eyed swab takes his adopted son into an office building marked “NBS Television”, where newscast is in progress. While showing Swee’pea around the place, he addresses the reader with some surprisingly blunt information:
POPEYE:
There are NO SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENTS for television and radio announcers. TV and radio announcers don’t have to be college graduates, but the companies prefer them. They also want men and women who look nice and have clear, pleasing voices.
After a rather jarring scene-shift to a battlefield - demonstrating that radio and TV announcers “have to get out where the news is being made” - Popeye lays some more drier-than-dry information on Swee’pea about the requirements of working as a broadcast technician. Then, Popeye and Swee’pea move on to the offices of the CITY TIMES newspaper, outside of which, Popeye is “mowed down” by an over-enthusiastic journalist. Strolling around the newsroom, Popeye explains the duties of the City Editor and the Sports Editor. Then he delivers an extraordinarily lengthy bit of dialog - by necessity, hand-lettered at a very small size — all within a single word balloon:
POPEYE:
As you see, newspaper editors are well informed, and can put thoughts into words. Some newspaper only hire men and women to be editors who have a college education and some insist on a degree in journalism, but there are other newspaper jobs for those who have not gone to college. Newspapers also need printing press operators, artists of all kinds, photographers, delivery men and may more. How would you like to be a copy boy, Swee’pea?
(Hmmm, looks to me like this is an example of some last-minute editing. Popeye had better watch out; with any more of these extra-verbose word balloons, he might develop a hunchback!) After visiting the CITY TIMES’ nutty-looking Society Editor, staff photographer J. Wellington Wimpy runs by. Popeye assumes he’s on the trail of a big story, but typically, Wimpy’s on a coffee break and running off to order a dozen hamburgers from a nearby diner. Then Popeye visits a fashion photographer (who’s shooting a session with Olive Oyl), the wilderness (where he’s chased by a camera-shy bear), an art gallery (where fine artwork is being photographed) and a room marked “Top Secret” (where a suspicious-looking guy is taking photos of classified material with a very tiny camera!) Following a long screed on the requirements for becoming a photographer, Popeye visits a photoengraving company, an art school and a commercial art studio. After posing for a life-drawing class and annoying one of the art school’s instructors, a towering stack of magazines topple over on Popeye while he delivers a message about the life of a commercial artist:
POPEYE:
SOMETHING NEW IS HAPPENING EVERY MINUTE OF THE DAY. PEOPLE WORKING IN COMMUNICATIONS AND MEDIA HELP TO TELL IT LIKE IT IS! THEY LOVE THEIR WORK LIKE I LOVE SPINACH!
Geez, calm down, ya swab! Next, Popeye pays a visit to a factory to see how a newspaper is printed. (One of these panels has been very poorly printed - with smudged and bleeding black ink that makes it difficult to read its hand-lettered copy — which is rather ironic, considering that this comic was actually printed on Charlton’s privately-owned printing presses!) As Swee’pea re-joins him, Popeye tells him about potential careers in the telephone business. Visiting the offices of a phone company, we see Olive Oyl working as a phone operator, one of over 400,000 of them in the country:
POPEYE:
Nearly all telephone operators are girls, Swee’pea, but there are a few men too.
Then the old salt takes Swee’pea to a privately-run office building and introduces the human tadpole to women who works as a receptionist and phone switchboard operator, one of whom has skin the color of a ripe lemon. (I guess she’s supposed to be Asian; either that, or it’s just another example of Charlton’s hit-or-miss printing.) This sequence ends with Popeye sleeping on a park bench located outside the phone company’s headquarters!
POPEYE:
One of the drawbacks to being a telephone operator is you may have to work nights sometimes and you may have to work on week-ends or holidays.
Later, we catch up with Popeye at the local airport, where he takes us inside the control tower to watch various air traffic ground controllers doing their job. One of ‘em, apparently another lemon-skinned Asian, receives a comedic electrical shock while tightening a loose wire in his instrument console. Then, after a mind-numbing page on the legal requirements needed to work in airline radio-operator jobs, Popeye finally gets to do what he does best. (No, he doesn’t beat the snot out of a bully.) He rows a dinghy out to an offshore ship to visit its Morse code operator. Then he visits a train yard, where he watches a train dispatcher use the telegraph to do his job. Apparently, Popeye’s so immersed in his mission to teach Swee’pea about jobs in the communication and media that he forgets that he’s standing on the train tracks - it takes a warning cry from Swee’pea to alert him to an oncoming train - and he leaps to safety at the last second! Finally, Popeye takes a look at the job of phone company linemen, “some of the most important communications workers”. In the middle of a blinding snowstorm - one so thick that cartoonist Ray Dirgo is able to get away with leaving one panel blank - we’re shown a phone company’s cable splicer working in a canvas shelter high above the ground. In a rare bit of humor, Popeye wryly comments:
POPEYE:
They told him he’d get plenty of fresh air on this job!
Later, back at home, while Popeye reads the newspaper, Swee’pea reads a POPEYE comic book, considering his options regarding a future career in communications and media. But when he’s interrupted to answer the ringing telephone, he’s amused to realize it’s a wrong number - the caller’s speaking Chinese!
Also included in this issue of POPEYE AND COMMUNICATION AND MEDIA CAREERS are the following features:
- “Can You Answer These?”, a quiz regarding the contents of this educational comic book.
- “Hey, Kids - Discussion Questions!”, an inside-back-cover list of questions to consider and discuss with classmates.
- A back-cover “Popeye” gag cartoon/pin-up, drawn by George Wildman, of the sailor-man working as a lineman for the phone company (!?!) while dealing with an over-aggressively territorial woodpecker.

Justice League Unlimited - Season Two (DC Comics Classic Collection)
In the final 13 episodes of Justice League Unlimited, Grodd recruits Lex Luthor, Sinestro, Bizarro, Giganta, and hordes of other villains to form the Legion of Doom, leading to numerous action-packed episodes of villains fighting the superheroes of the expanded JLU. The core members of the original series–Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, Hawkgirl, Flash, and Green Lantern–are supplemented by such heroes as Green Arrow, Black Canary, Supergirl, Red Tornado, and Mister Terrific. But even waves of super-beings would be a bore if the stories weren’t compelling and well-thought-out, and dashed with humor. It’s the respect for the viewer’s intelligence that elevates JLU beyond a kids’ series to arguably the best animated-superhero show ever.
During the season, Hawkgirl meets Katar Hol, Hawkman, who claims that he and Hawkgirl are the resurrection of centuries-ago lovers, which throws a wrench into her developing relationship with Green Lantern (”Shadow of the Hawk,” “Ancient History”). Flash fights a rogue’s gallery of his arch enemies alongside Batman and Orion (”Flash and Substance”), Luthor switches brains with the Flash in “The Great Brain Robbery” (inside joke: Michael Rosenbaum is the voice of Flash, but plays Lex Luthor in the series Smallville) , and Luthor’s and Grodd’s struggle for dominance of the Legion of Doom comes to a head in the final two-parter, which leads to an unlikely partnership against the ultimate supervillain. The series also dips into other characters and realms of DC comic-book lore, such as the Legion of Super-Heroes (”Far from Home”), Deadman (”Dead Reckoning”), the Seven Soldiers of Victory (”Patriot Act”), Birds of Prey (”Grudge Match”), and Mike Grell’s Warlord (”Chaos at the Earth’s Core”). In the bonus features, the series creators discuss JLU’s ongoing Cadmus story line, there’s a music-only track of the series’ final episode, and the creators do a 30-minute on-screen commentary talking about three late-season episodes. –David Horiuchi

Comics Scholar Ernesto Priego Denied Entry Into USA To Present At ICAF
Marc Singer, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the International Comic Arts Forum (ICAF), a leading North American event for comics scholarship whose 12th edition starts in Washington, D.C. October 18, has informed CR that one of their presenters, Ernesto Priego, has been denied entry into the United States. According to Singer, the US government has declined to renew Priego’s visa. A statement on their site reads as follows:Ernesto Priego is unable to present his paper at ICAF because he has been denied entry into the United States of America. The U.S. government has not renewed his visa, nor have they given him any explanation why he will not be allowed into the country. ICAF protests this refusal of entry, part of a recent and disturbing trend of excluding foreign scholars, as an infringement on academic freedom.A native of Mexico and a published poet, Priego is currently a doctoral candidate at University College in London. He was scheduled to present a paper called “The Tell-Tale Smell of Burning Paper: ‘Logic of Form’ and the Origin of Comics.” This was scheduled for the theory and practice of comics studies track headed by Charles Hatfield.
ICAF only learned about the denial on Tuesday, and it’s believed that Priego learned about the matter himself very recently. An e-mail to Priego has yet to be answered. Singer says that Priego has been held up by US immigration before while coming to attend other conferences in the states. He suggests that this denial fits a recent pattern of “excluding foreign scholars from visiting or working in the US, usually because they have been critical of the current administration.” (One such recent case is that of South African scholar Adam Habib.)
Singer added further comment today at his widely-read blog, including the abstract of Priego’s paper.

CR Review: Glister Vol. 1
not exactly the final cover, but close
Creator: Andi Watson
Publishing Information: Image Comics, soft cover, 64 pages, August 2007, $5.99
Ordering Numbers: 9781582408538 (ISBN13)
There are works out there as sound in their conception as Andi Watson’s new book Glister — an intimate size, a likely to please price point, attractive covers and sturdy interiors, and a story with a female protagonist who takes an active role in solving supernatural problems that happen to her through no fault of her own — but not many. Where Glister truly distinguishes itself is in Watson’s absolute confidence in the visual storytelling. In this first book, Glister Butterworth encounters a haunted teapot containing a lousy writer named Phillip Bulwark-Stratton (a name convincing enough I’ll admit I double-checked by looking it up), who drafts Glister into helping in the creation of another work. Eventually, Glister brings the situation into a satisfying close, not through a sudden bolt of inspiration, but by working through the problem and a number of potential solutions.
Watson adds depth to his storytelling and builds a sense of narrative density by confidently moving back and forth between storytelling modes. There are close-ups and cutaways, tableaux that sustain a single story point, complex panel constructions on a single page, and even static sequences that are designed to build into a rat-a-tat rhythm through which the quickly rolls forward. A lot of the images are themselves really lovely, against which the more simplified characters fairly pop off of the page. This is made necessary by a story that lopes along at a pleasant but not inspiring pace; it’s not up to the skill with which it unfolds as performance. The overall effect is one of engaged, pleasant conversation, though; I feel Watson’s getting close to find a tone that would indulge the graceful and manic qualities inherent to his work, and have great, transcendent qualities of its own. It’s always fascinating to see Watson work in such a controlled fashion, even with years of work of that type behind him; the Skeleton Key back-up contains more frenetic, funny and visually chaotic moments — but maybe for the first time, the bigger name back-up really does seem like a back-up.

Resolved Question: 100 percent financed mortgage, how does it work?
I would like to know what type of credit score you would need to qulify for a 100 percnt financed mortgage.Also how much income is required. Does anyone know what mortgage payments would be on a house that is $229,000 to $249,000?How do you go about getting something like that. Are companies you see advertised to get you a mortgage like that with bad credit reliable, or will banks give you a mortgage like this.
I live in Toronto,Ontario and would like advice for this and surrounding areas.
Open Question: What is the next step in my personal financial situation?
I am 28 years old. I have no credit card debt. I have $18,000 in a high yield savings account (5%). I have $2200 in Mutual Funds (made 10% so far YTD). I have $12,500 in my 401K. I own a house in Texas that I currently rent out. The rent pays for the mortgage. I rent in California and cannot buy as I am here only for a short period of time. I save approximately $1500 to $2000 a month. Where should I put this money? More mutual funds, high yeild savings, 401K, IRA or other? Do I have too much money in the high yield savings account? I am willing to take an above average amount of risk but nothing on the crazy risky side! Need some financial guidance world…please help! I know I’m not doing too bad, but I know I could be on my way to financial freedom in the future with some right guidance. Thanks!

Protest Group’s Demands Include Firing of Editorial Cartoonist Scott Stantis
A small protest gathering in Birmingham led by local Southern Christian Leadership Conference chapter president Bishop Calvin Woods called for an apology from the Birmingham News and the firing of prominent editorial cartoonist Scott Stantis. The paper and the cartoonist are charged with being racist and unfair in terms of their local coverage. Two cartoons by Stantis, one printed and one put up on the web site briefly — as a mistake, editors say — on the subject of the use of race in political campaigns drove the call for the cartoonist’s dismissal. Stantis is a well-known conservative editorial cartoonist distributed by Copley News Serve and also the creator of the strip Prickly City. He has been at the News since 1996. The editors deny any and all bias in their coverage.
The only good that came out of this storyline was the excellent follow up trade collection THE RETURN OF SUPERMAN, which provides more story and higher quality art for your dollar.

Bangladeshi police used batons to break up a 2000-person public protest in the city of Dhaka Friday, a demonstration related to the Arifur Rahman cartoon featuring the named Muhammed being used for a cat. Rahman remains in jail after being put there by authorities citing both the offense and Bangladeshi law that allows people to be jailed if they put society into disarray. Protesters and others angered at the cartoon are calling for the arrest of the editor and publisher, as well as the closure of the publication.
Random Comics News Story Round-Up
* Jennifer de Guzman follows up on the “Diamond to require bar codes” story, including a much-traveled link to a copy of the letter Diamond sent out to their vendors. So it looks like small press publishers will have a further, required investment. Whether this is enough to break them? I don’t think it will be, and more importantly, I don’t think it should be. Johanna Draper Carlson has a round-up of links concerning the economic travails of comics folk, which may put some of this in context. While I’m not driven to passion by the specific issue here, it does provide a jumping off point into a world of comics direct market dysfunction, from the notion that small publishers be given unfettered access to the marketplace to the idea that Diamond as a (not technically a) monopoly owes the industry a lax policy when it comes to small press efforts all the way up to the fact that these ideas are conceptualized in raw number forms in part because no one would trust Diamond, with their track record, to make non-insane judgments on potential vendors based on quality.
* Louis Delas of Casterman notes that any decision about their edition of Tintin Au Congo, under fire by some groups because of the depiction of Africans more in line with cartoon depictions of that time rather than reality then or now, has to be worked out with the Herge estate instead of just a summary decision by the publisher. He also notes that it’s a traditional strong-seller in the series, leading sales last year with 40,000 units moved.
* I hadn’t known of this Jason project, but then again, I suppose the English-language publication of his works is still a book or two behind European versions.
* This is the week where the character of Lisa Moore passes away in Funky Winkerbean after a long bout with cancer, which will trigger a narrative shift in the soap opera/character-based comedy ten years into the future. The gruesome nature of the storyline has revived an ancient comics conceptual chestnut whether or not comic strips like Tom Batiuk’s should be allowed reflect real life on occasion or should make their primary concern escapism from such matters. Here’s one editorial in the “what the hell are you thinking with this storyline?” vein. Here’s one in the “good for you, Mr. Batiuk” vein. My paper doesn’t carry Funky Winkerbean, so I’ll be following the storyline through the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
* Barry Windsor-Smith gives one of his projects new life on-line. Even if this were the worst strip in the universe, it would be kind of cool just for someone of BWS’s generation taking full advantage of Internet-driven publishing possibilities in this manner.
* I like looking at Kevin Huizenga work close-up like this.
* I’m not going to pretend I’ve heard of Fangoria Comics, let alone kept track of their woes in negotiating the comics market since a 2006 launch announcement, but apparently they’ve shut down.
* A few of the better over-the-weekend interviews: Xavier Guilbert talks with Junko Mizuno for du9, Andrew Farago chats up Manga: The Complete Guide author Jason Thompson for TCJ.com and Dan Kois at New York checks in with Adrian Tomine.
