Wednesday Worlds of Wonder LOST WORLD "Mad Mute X-Adapts"

...it's not them on this cover supposedly-featuring their battle against aquatic mutants!
Nor do these reptiles look like the mutants in the story!
For whatever reason, the editors used a generic cover by Joe Doolin and apparently hoped kids wouldn't notice the difference!
Have Hunt and Lyssa gained a new ally?
Only time will tell.....

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder LOST WORLD "London Blitz 2.0"

We Have Already Seen...

...Hunt and Lyssa, having been accidentally-transported via Volta spacecraft from St Louis to Paris, must now find their way back to America, but without alien technology to help them...
Fiction House's Planet Comics #31 (1944) continues the trek across a devastated Europe...which, ironically mirrors the then-current situation known to us as World War II!
But even bigger changes are coming to the Lost World, as you'll see next week!
Note: While some spacecraft and submarines look similar, they're actually designed to operate in totally-different envrionments!
Spaceships fly though a near-vacuum, and low gravity so they're built to keep their interiors from exploding outward!
OTOH, subs are designed to keep incredibly-heavy water pressure from crushing them like tin cans.
Unless you can figure out how to make the vessel's structure do both effectively, a combo-use ship isn't really feasible...

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder LOST WORLD "City of Lost Souls"

When Last We Left the Apocalyptic Archer and Alien Princess...

...WOW, The Lost World finally made the cover of Planet Comics!
But cover artist Joe Doolin didn't get many of the details right (like costume details and coloring), he did include a wrecked Eiffel Tower, since most of the story takes place in a devasted Paris, France!
And it is a real attention-grabber!
Well, that'll teach Hunt Bowman not to steal other people's stuff, eh?
Fiction House's Planet Comics #30 (1944) begins a new ongoing plotline about an odyssey to return to what remains of America!
