Friday Fun FROM HERE TO INSANITY "Inside Mr America"

When I Think Weird, I Think Wolverton!

And, if you didn't before, you'll agree after reading this never-reprinted feature!

The amount of detail he put into this 2-pager from Charlton's From Here to Insanity V3N1 (1957) is astounding, considering...

a) the low (even for comic books) page rates Charlton was paying!

and

b) the usually-poor printing Charlton was infamous for!

Reading Room 3-D COLOR CLASSICS: TIME MACHINE (Conclusion)

We Have Already Seen...

Victorian-era inventor John travels to the future and discovers that, after reaching a pinnacle of scientific development, mankind has deteriorated to two groups of primitives!

Above-ground dwellers are peaceful, but those who lurk below are savage!

The underground humans steal John's time-travel vehicle...and then, one of his new-found friends, a woman named Weena.

Seeking both, the chronic argonaut goes below the surface, where he discovers the hostile cave dwellers, known as "Morlocks", are hyper-sensitive to light.

Finding his machine and the woman, John heads for the surface with her, planning to return for his vehicle...

Note: John says to the Morlocks; "Perhaps one of my distant ancestors will meet you!"

If they're in the future, wouldn't it be one of his descendents?

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder 3-D COLOR CLASSICS: TIME MACHINE (Part 2)

When Last We Left Our Chronic Argonaut...

...(note the reference to HG Wells' earlier time travel tale!)

Victorian inventor John travels to the future, where he discovers humans reached a remarkable level of scientific achievement, then apparently lost their knowledge over generations and became gentle primitives!

But not all of them!

When his time-travel vehicle is stolen and taken underground, John pursues the thieves, he discovers some humans had become savage primitives!

To Be Concluded...Tomorrow!

Adapted by Peter Stone, with layouts by Neal Adams and finishes by Adams, Rodolfo Damaggio, Andres Klasic, and John Nyberg, this adaptation takes considerable liberties with the original novel.

But, to be fair, almost every adaptation, no matter the media, has made changes, usually due to technical (sfx) or space limitations.

Reading Room 3-D COLOR CLASSICS: TIME MACHINE (Part 1)

Here's a never-reprinted graphic version of the HG Wells tale...

...from over 3 decades ago, illustrated by the late, great, Neal Adams and his Continuity Associates studio!

To Be Continued Tomorrow...in Wednesday Worlds of Wonder!

Adapted by scripter Peter Stone, with layouts by Neal Adams and finishes by Adams, Rodolfo Damaggio, Andres Klasic, and John Nyberg, this adaptation takes considerable liberties with the original novel.

But, to be fair, almost every adaptation, no matter the media, has made changes, usually due to technical (sfx) or space limitations.

The book was part of a series of comics given away as part of Wendy's Kid's Meals in 1995!

The books used a full color 3-D process called "ChromaDepth", that used the color spectrum to create a three-dimensional effect with the enclosed glasses, yet left a perfectly-readable (if oddly-colored) comic if the glasses were lost!

Monday Mecha Madness MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU!

Though in the Star Wars Multiverse, They're known as "Droids"...

...they're actually robots, not androids!

So why aren't they called "bots"?
BTW, who knew R2D2 was such a wise-ass?
Next: If droids can't go into the Cantina, where do they go?

Note: Technically, the female could be an android!

The following tale features two droids...one good and one decidedly evil!

The final entry features R2D2, also hanging out with Ewoks...

These stories were from a trio of limited-edition anthology fanzines dubbed "Star Wars Fanbooks" sometimes called Star Wars Harvest Fanbooks, since the first one was titled...

Two others followed...

...all conceived, edited, and produced by Shelli Paroline in the late 2000s!

I wanted to present something both mecha and Star Wars-themed, and since almost every related comic/graphic novel had been reprinted multiple times (except for the Star Wars 3-D comics, which didn't play up the droids), finding something unique was proving near-impossible, until I remembered these, which featured very talented fans and neo-pros demonstrating their love for the "Galaxy Far, Far, Away"!

And, I was hoping to provide a link to the publisher's website listed in the Grand Comics Database HERE so others could purchase copies, but the site is now defunct.

And a search for copies anywhere else came up with zero/zilch/nada/nuthin' honey!
