CoronaVirus Comics ADVENTURES INTO THE UNKNOWN "Higher Power!"

On the Christian sabbath we ask "when science fails, can faith find a way"?

Perhaps this short. from ACG's Adventures into the Unknown #91 (1957) holds the answer!

Did writer/editor Richard E Hughes and artist Ogden Whitney base this tale on an oft-heard urban legend?

Oddly, when the story was reprinted in ACG's Unknown Worlds #18 (1962), it was retitled...

...and nobody can recall why!

CoronaVirusComics FORBIDDEN WORLDS "Alien Germs"

By the late 1950s, we were so confident in advances in medicine...

...that the only way we'd face a catastrophic pandemic was if it was of alien (that's extraterrestrial, not illegal) origin!

Wow!
Is there nothing science (with assistance from alien tech) can't solve?

According to this story from ACG's Forbidden Worlds #71 (1958) by writer/editor Richard Hughes and artist John Rosenberger the answer was clearly "NO"!

Interestingly, when the story was reprinted in ACG's Adventures into the Unknown #166 (1966), only two things were altered...both on the title page...

See the diifferences?

The title has been altered and the extremely-optimistic opening blurb about mankind's almost-miraculous medical acumen was deleted!

Was it simply because, in the mid-1960s, we were no longer totally-trusting about our government and other authority figures?

Or was it...dare I say it...a conspiracy?

Reading Room OPERATION: PERIL "Time Travelers: Adventure Among the Stars" Conclusion

When Last We Left the Time Travelers...

...no, they weren't shooting it out with aliens on an airless planetoid, as this misleading Odgen Whitney cover shows, but they have been transported to Saturn, where Tom is about to do battle, unarmed, against a really big green alien...

Will the Saturnians reappear?
And if they do, will it be as friend or foe?

Only writer Richard Hughes and artist Ken Bald, who produced this tale for ACG's Operation Peril #4 (1951) know the answer!
