After almost a year reading this feature, you think you know about Hunt Bowman and The Lost World?
Prepare to be disillusioned!
Needless to say...
In 1988, Blackthorne Publishing relaunched Fiction House's Planet Comics with all-new revamped/rebooted versions of several strips, only one of which was from Planet Comics.
(Oddly, the other strips in Planet were from other, non sci-fi Fiction House titles!)
In the case of Lost World, writer Bruce Jones and artist Ken Hooper went the Buck Rogers route taking a human from the then-present and putting him in suspended animation to awaken in a post-apocalyptic far future.
The revived Planet Comics lasted only three issues and has never been reprinted.
Correction: the stories have never been reprinted, but the cover to #1, by the late, legendary Dave Stevens has been reprinted as both a print and a poster several times since.
That cover is the reason why back issues of #1 go for over $50 on the secondary market.
You'll see it next week.
