Wednesday Worlds of Wonder FROST & FIRE Part 2

We Have Already Seen...

A boy (Sim) is born on a planet where humans were shipwrecked long ago.

The extreme environmental conditions have sped humans' metabolisms over time, causing them to age rapidly--living from birth to death by old age in 8 days.

Sim learns, even as a baby, seemingly by mental osmosis, picking up fragments of knowledge from his parents' minds.

With freezing nights and burning days, there's only a small window of time each day during which they can be outside...

Reading Room UNKNOWN WORLDS OF SCIENCE FICTION "Occupation Force"

From the mind of Frank Herbert, creator/author of the Dune series...

...comes a tale of how the concept of a screwed-up government bureaucracy is literally, universal!

This never-reprinted tale from Marvel's sci-fi anthology magazine Unknown Worlds of Science Fiction #3 (1975) is an extremely-faithful adaptation by writer Gerry Conway, penciler George Perez, and inker Klaus Janson of the Frank Herbert short story that originally appeared in Ziff-Davis' sci-fi pulp Fantastic #V4N5 (1955).

In a kool touch, the creatives took the originally all-Caucasian Krolians...

...and made them an inclusive, interracial group.

Humans are humans, no matter their skin color, after all...
