Wednesday Worlds of Wonder LOST WORLD "Save the Declaration of Independence"

Though Fiction House's ongoing comic titles didn't acknowledge Christmas...
The VoltaMen had already adapted Nazi uniforms and tactics, but this was the story that introduced their "Yoda-style" speech patterns...which are actually English, but with ancient Latin sentence structure!
That, and the next story, which introduces a "Scooby Gang" from the past as ongoing characters, are indications that the writer behind the "Thorncliffe Herrick" pen-name has changed!
This never-reprinted story from Fiction House's Planet Comics #37 (1945) is actually out of order, since it takes place during Hunt and Lyssa's trip to Washington DC, and they've been back in New York City for several issues.
I suspect it was a sequel to the heavily-edited story from Planet Comics #25 and a "try-out" for both artist Lily Renee and whoever the writer is.
The Iger/Eisner Studio, which supplied almost all the comics stories for Fiction House's books was notorious for never leaving something they paid for unpublished!
BTW, the alien Hydrads never returned to the series.
