Friday Fun 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY "New Seed" Part 1

Our final story details what happens to humans transformed by the Monoliths...

...as described and rendered by the one and only Jack (King) Kirby!

Odd that none of the "New Seeds" bother to go back to Earth, eh?

Will this particular one just observe...or will it interfere?
Find Out...TOMORROW!

Reading Room 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY "Wheels of Death" Conclusion

When Last We Left Our Protaganist in 2001...

...Space Station Liberty I, orbiting Mars, is facing destruction by a meteor swarm!

Commander Herb Marik, perhaps a distant descendant of the barbarian of the same name from pre-history, acts to save his crew...

For the first time, we see what happens when a human doesn't transform into a "New Seed"!

And, that he posesses many of the same characteristics and traits of his apparent ancestor, who also encountered a Monolith!

Note: We already ran "Norton of New York 2240 A.D." and its' sequel "Inter-Galactica" HERE and HERE, so next Friday we re-present the only never-reprinted 2001: a Space Odyssey tale that explores what happens when a human goes to the "next level"...

...the New Seed!

Writer/artist Jack Kirby liked doing the unexpected...
