Wednesday Worlds of Wonder LOST WORLD "Brute in the Bubble"

This kool cover, though it does feature Lyssa and Voltamen...

...has nothing to do with the story inside!
The so called "brute in the bubble" turns out to be a potential friend!
But questions abound!
Why do they call themselves "mummy-men" when they look like humanoid canines?
And what planet did they come from?
We may never know the answers...

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder LOST WORLD "Escape from Earth!"

Last week we learned that the "present day" in this series was 1982...
..and are now told the invasion occurred seven years earlier, in 1975!
Guess they didn't celebrate the Bicentennial on this Earth...
Of course, the only reason Helena agrees to work with the mutants is because, without a functioning ship, she's trapped on Earth!
Curiously, Helena and the scientists know about Hunt Bowman, probably by monitoring Volta broadcasts, but never attempted to contact him!
BTW, as of this tale from Fiction House's Planet Comics #60 (1949), the remainder of Lost World has never been reprinted, so if you don't own the original comics, this is likely the first time you'll be seeing these stories!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder LOST WORLD "Volta's Vichy Vassal"

We finally discover what far-distant future era Lost World takes place in...
...1982???
Well, when this tale from Fiction House's Planet Comics #59 (1949) was published, it was the "far future"...

The title reference is to the puppet government Nazi Germany installed in southern France to attempt to convince the French they weren't really conquered and occupied.
The implication was that if the Resistance stopped operations, northern France could be given (illusory) self-governance again!
It didn't work.

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder LOST WORLD "Food for Freedom!"

There's been a running sub-plot involving Volta schoolchildren...
...witnessing their soldiers battling Hunt Bowman, Lyssa, and other humans both on video, and even in person...with mixed results...causing some ofthe kids to doubt the righteousness of their planet's invasion of Earth!
Well, this certainly didn't have the effect the Volta government hoped it would have on their children!
The parallel to World War II's Axis countries' attempts to indoctrinate their youth to their point of view is obvious.

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder LOST WORLD "Jupiterians & Jovians"

The war against the VoltaMen continues...
...as yet another alien race enters the fray on the side of Earth!
So now we have support from Venus, Mars, and Jupiter against the VoltaMen.
Will the alliance bear fruit, or will the invaders from Volta tighten their iron grip on the Solar System?
