“Comics Confidential”

"Comics Confidential" in Frantic #1 (1959) offers a delightfully eccentric glimpse into a futuristic world where reading books make a grand comeback—complete with early visions of virtual reality, e-books, robot-powered gaming, and even drug-fueled dream experiences. Penciled and inked by Ric Estrada, the story unfolds with a playful, speculative edge, while the cover by John Severin captures the era’s quirky sci-fi flair.
