Wednesday Worlds of Wonder INVASION '55 "An Eventful Flight"

When Last We Left Several Disparate Groups of 1950s Stereotypes...

...they have discovered (or are about to discover) there's an ongoing extraterrestrial invasion of their Southwestern locale!












To Be Continued Next Wednesday!
This opening half of Apple Press' Invasion '55 #2 (1991) by writer Chuck Dixon and illustrator Lito Fernandez amps up the action as almost everybody's aware of the ETs, and is now fighting back when possible!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder INVASION '55 "The Well"

We Have Already Seen...

...several disparate groups, including "rebel without a cause" leather-jacketed teens, the crew of an Air Force bomber, and typical housewives slowly discover there are extraterrestrials lurking about their SouthWestern town!
Now let's join a local elementary school as it lets out for the day, with everyone unaware of what's going on around them...











To Be Continued...
Next Wednesday!

There's no title for the chapter itself!
We added one translated from the one in the Spanish edition!
The Spanish-language reprint's coloring makes it clear the kid's Colt .45 water pistol is what hurts the alien!
(Though the kick to the crotch certainly doesn't help the ET!)

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!
