Wednesday Worlds of Wonder UNKNOWN WORLDS OF SCIENCE FICTION "Vision of Venus"

Though not as prolific as Edgar Rice Burroughs or Robert E Howard...

...Otis Adelbert Kline deserves a place on any bookshelf of "scientific romances/high adventure"!

Weird Observation: Why do so many of these early writers have three names?

This never-reprinted tale from Marvel's Unknown Worlds of Science Fiction #4 (1975) by writer/artist Tim Conrad adapts one of Kline's Venus stories.

Like ERB and others, Kline did multiple stories set on Venus, Mars, and the Moon.

(His lunar-located novel, Maza of the Moon, was adapted into the one-shot comic Rocket to the Moon, which we presented HERE!)
Sadly, none of Kline's other works have ever been presented in graphic form.
This text piece might offer a clue as to why...

Hopefully, someday, some publisher will take a shot at a new adpataion!
Next Week:
We turn to HORROR for the month of October!
