Wednesday Worlds of Wonder HUNT BOWMAN IN THE LOST WORLD Part 1B

When Last We Left Our Hero...

...he's the Buck Rogers-ripoff "astronaut frozen and defrosted centuries later in a post-apocalyptic Earth" guy underneath this incredibly-kool Dave Stevens cover, which is based very loosely on what's about to occur in the story...
Computer system...in a cave?
The cliches just keep coming!
While writer Bruce Jones has done some absolutely spectacular work in comics, I'd say this is not one of his award-winning moments!
Clearly, the Dave Stevens cover (above) is the reason Blackthorne's Planet Comics V2N1 (1988) is $50 (or more) on the back-issue market!
Note also that Stevens did exactly what the original Fiction House Planet Comics' cover artists did in the 1940s...take a plot element and hyper-cheesecake it!
(Not that I'm complaining...)
Nonetheless, if you want to see what develops, be here next Wednesday.
Warning: the remaining issues do not have Dave Stevens covers!
