Wednesday Worlds of Wonder LOST WORLD "Monsters from the Blue"

With the school to train resistance fighters now secure...
...Hunt Bowman and Lyssa press on with their mission to retake Earth from the Volta invaders!
Will Bowman and his cadets utilize this flying sub (and other similar craft) against the VoltaMen?
Will Earth be freed?
I'm afraid we'll never know!
Sadly, this story from Fiction House's Planet Comics #64 (1950) was the final Golden Age tale of The Lost World.
Though Planet Comics continued for another year, it went all-reprint!
But this is not the end of Hunt Bowman and Lyssa's adventures in Lost World at Wednesday Worlds of Wonder!
Nest week you'll see the only Lost World text feature ever published!
And after that, the Bronze Age reboot of the strip from Blackthorne's all-new Planet Comics!
Don't remember it?

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder LOST WORLD "Children Shouldn't Play with Guns"

...it would be smooth sailing for Hunt Bowman and Lyssa's new school to train a new generation to battle the invaders from Volta.
You'd be wrong...
Playing with guns is dangerous, even in the post-apocalyptic world of Hunt Bowman!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder LOST WORLD "To Save You, Why Must I Kill You?"

Considering this never-reprinted tale was published over in 1949...

...it's almost frightening to see how applicable the story's moral is to the problems of today's America!
Heroic Hunt Bowman and the duly-elected Earth Council decide on a course of action...gathering the surviving children of North America in a well-prepared location to teach them what they'll need to survive and fight back against the invading VoltaMen.
Rabble-rousers claim Bowman's actions are violating their personal freedom and endangering their children!
(Apparently Republicans survived the invasion from Volta!)
Happily, by the end of the tale, the Repugs...I mean idiots...have learned the error of their ways and the School for Survival is now in session!
Sadly, in the real world, the fools who claim their personal freedom take priority over their survival haven't learned...and may not live long enough to do so!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder LOST WORLD "Brute in the Bubble"

This kool cover, though it does feature Lyssa and Voltamen...

...has nothing to do with the story inside!
The so called "brute in the bubble" turns out to be a potential friend!
But questions abound!
Why do they call themselves "mummy-men" when they look like humanoid canines?
And what planet did they come from?
We may never know the answers...

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder LOST WORLD "Escape from Earth!"

Last week we learned that the "present day" in this series was 1982...
..and are now told the invasion occurred seven years earlier, in 1975!
Guess they didn't celebrate the Bicentennial on this Earth...
Of course, the only reason Helena agrees to work with the mutants is because, without a functioning ship, she's trapped on Earth!
Curiously, Helena and the scientists know about Hunt Bowman, probably by monitoring Volta broadcasts, but never attempted to contact him!
BTW, as of this tale from Fiction House's Planet Comics #60 (1949), the remainder of Lost World has never been reprinted, so if you don't own the original comics, this is likely the first time you'll be seeing these stories!
