Wednesday Worlds of Wonder INVASION '55 "Something Strange on the Radar"

Square-Jawed, Heroic Aviators!
Wise-Ass Teen-Agers!
Terrified, Helpless Women!
Innocent, Annoying Kids!
ALIENS!!!


It's the 1950s...as seen from the 1990s, courtesy of writer Chuck Dixon and artist Lito Fernandez!














To Be Continued...
Next Wednesday!
Though both the original Apple Press miniseries and IDW trade paperback reprint (available below) are in b/w, a Spanish-language reprint book was fully-colored...


I don't know if it was because Dixon & Fernandez wanted to retain the "b/w B-movie feel" in the IDW reprint or not, but the Spanish book's coloring is muted and very effective!
And if they wanted the "b/w B-movie feel", why didn't they add grey tones to the b/w art?
You'll note the Spanish version adds a "Fin" (end) at this point.
It's not in the American version.
Nor is there a title for the story itself!
We added one translated from the one in the Spanish edition!
