Wednesday Worlds of Wonder HUNT BOWMAN AND THE LOST WORLD Part 3

Nope, you don't have to reboot your tablet/laptop/desktop/smartphone...

...this story was published in b/w instead of color!
...hapless astronaut Hunt Bowman, put in suspended animation by a NASA experiment, slept through World War III, which reduced Earth to a barren world populated by savages.
Finally defrosted, he meets a mute woman flying a jetcycle and armed with advanced focused-energy weapons.
She flies him to a nearby small city where he discovers...an exact look-alike of himself!
You'll note all three of my theories are still equally-valid...
1) Since Bowman is from the past, is this guy also from the past...or Bowman himself, returned from further into the future?
2) Is he a clone, created from Bowman's cells taken before he went into space?
3) Is this not only a future Earth, but an alternate universe as well?
Regrettably, we'll never know the answer, since this was the final issue of Blackthorne's revival of Planet Comics! (The book being printed in b/w instead of the previous issues' full color might've been a tip-off!).
Neither the Golden Age nor Bronze Age versions of Hunt Bowman have appeared in new tales since!
Next Week...
A New Wednesday World of Wonder!
Don't Miss It!
