Friday Holiday Fun GREMLINS Conclusion

...(was it really that long?) this insanely-cute (especially her) young couple fought for their lives on Christmas Eve against an invasion of weird creatures!
Witness now the fearsome finale...
Gizmo Will Return in Gremlins 2: the New Breed
...sadly, there wasn't a comic book/graphic novel adaptatation of it!
Reading the graphic novel, you'll note dialogue and scenes that are different from the movie itself, indicating, due to time constraints, the comic creatives were working from an earlier draft of the script.
Ony thing that doesn't appear in the GN is Kate's explanation as to why she hates Christmas...
...although I suspect it was left out due to a limited page count in the comic, since it was in the movie script from the beginning.
As to other changes and scenes left out of the final version...

Hope you enjoyed our multi-part presentation of the graphic novel that few people even knew existed!

Reading Room UNKNOWN WORLDS OF SCIENCE FICTION GIANT-SIZE SPECIAL "Threads"

An alien invasion may not be in the form of hulking monsters and heavily-armed spacecraft...
...but something subtle and unseen...
This oversized special, published in 1976 after Unknown Worlds of Science Fiction was cancelled, ran previously-unpublished material like this story...except for the tales "Arena" which had appeared in the color Worlds Unknown title (You can read it HERE and HERE.), and "Sinner", previously-published in the pro-zine witzend.
The writer of this tale, listed here as "Mat Warrick", may be the same person as "Mal Warrick" and "Mal Warwick", as stories under all three names appeared during the mid-1970s in various titles from MarvelStar-ReachDCRed Circle, and Charlton.
Artist Adrian Gonzales was part of the wave of Philippine artists who contributed work to American comics from the early 1970s to the mid-1980s.
In 1985, he turned from print comics to doing character design and storyboards for animation studios until his passing in 1998.
