Wednesday Worlds of Wonder UNKNOWN WORLDS OF SCIENCE FICTION "Day of the Triffids" Conclusion

...this pseudo-Ripley's Believe it or Not page which was used to promote the 1963 movie conveys all the basic info you need to know!
So let's dive into the story's finale...

The 1951 John Wyndham novel this tale was adapted from was dramatized in a 1963 theatrical film, a pair of TV mini-series in 1981 and 2009, and radio mini-series in 1957, 1968, and 2001.
All of these productions were produced in England.
American audiences have seen/heard only the 1953 movie and 1981 TV mini-series.

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder UNKNOWN WORLDS OF SCIENCE FICTION "Day of the Triffids" Parts 4 and 5

When Last We Left an Earth Filled with Vicious Mobile Plants...

First American Paperback Edition.
Normally, I'd explain the plot, but the comic itself will do so in a couple of pages...

(Note: though Rico Rival is credited as the sole artist, this splash page was laid out by the previous chapter's penciler, Ross Andru.)
To Be Concluded
NEXT WEDNESDAY!

Most readers are familiar with the 1963 movie, so this accurate, though condensed, version of the actual novel contains elements that you might not expect.
(Which is all the more reason to not miss the finale next week!)
