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 "Of Vultures and VoltaMen!"

The war against the invaders from Volta continues...

...and it appears secrets from the distant past are about to be revealed!

Thanks to this tale from Fiction House's Planet Comics #56 (1948), we now know the Martians tried to warn us in August, 1968 that the VoltaMen were en-route to attack and conquer Earth, with the invasion actually occurring shortly after that!
We don't know exactly how long after then that the "present-day" adventures of Hunt Bowman and Lyssa take place, but it's likely less than a century...perhaps even around 2020!
Will Eon the Martian return...and bring his fellow aliens with him?

Note that artist George Evans is improving by leaps and bounds since his debut only a few months ago in #50 as shown HERE!

He's experimenting with perspective and "camera angles", showing much more drama and in the individual panels.
While not quite where he'll be when he works on EC Comics' sci-fi, horror, and war books several years down the line, it's exciting to see his evolution as an illustrator!

Best of Wednesday Worlds of Wonder LOST WORLD "Enter Hunt Bowman"

The Dreaded Deadline Doom has ensnared us...

...but we don't want to deprive you of Lost World, so here's a re-re-presentation of the premiere adventure!

Before KillRaven!

Before Kamandi!

There was...Hunt Bowman, the first post-apocalyptic series hero in comics!

This tale from Fiction House's Planet Comics #21 (1942) written by "Thorncliffe Herrick" (a Fiction House pen-name) and illustrated by Rudy Palais pretty efficiently introduces the main characters and concepts behind the series, which lasted from this issue to #70 in 1953!

The strip evolves over its' run, so be prepared for some surprises to go along with the cliches!

BTW, we mentioned KillRaven in our opening.

Roy Thomas' initial concept for Marvel's 1970s War of the Worlds sequel (which evolved into KillRaven) was inspired by this strip along with H G Wells' novel and Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter and Carson of Venus series!
