Wednesday Worlds of Wonder 3-D COLOR CLASSICS: TIME MACHINE (Part 2)

...(note the reference to HG Wells' earlier time travel tale!)
Victorian inventor John travels to the future, where he discovers humans reached a remarkable level of scientific achievement, then apparently lost their knowledge over generations and became gentle primitives!
But not all of them!
When his time-travel vehicle is stolen and taken underground, John pursues the thieves, he discovers some humans had become savage primitives!
To Be Concluded...Tomorrow!
Adapted by Peter Stone, with layouts by Neal Adams and finishes by Adams, Rodolfo Damaggio, Andres Klasic, and John Nyberg, this adaptation takes considerable liberties with the original novel.
But, to be fair, almost every adaptation, no matter the media, has made changes, usually due to technical (sfx) or space limitations.

Wednesday World of What the Hell??? SLOW DEATH FUNNIES "It Grows!"

Happy Earth Day...sort of!
We look back at the cover-featured (but never-reprinted) story of the first issue a now-legendary series that debuted on the very first Earth Day in 1970!
Though the cover of this first issue has reached "graphic icon" status, reproduced (often unlicensed/unauthorized) all over the place, the actual story by writer-artist Greg Irons has never been reprinted!
Slow Death was published for 11 irregularly-produced issues, from 1970 to 1992.
Besides environmental/ecological stories, it also featured tales about diseases/plagues/epidemics, and other (sometimes deliberately-produced) medical horrors!
A 50th Anniversary Special (numbered "Zero") appeared (a few months late) in 2021.

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder MAN-GODS FROM BEYOND THE STARS Conclusion

In the far-distant past...
...technologically-advanced aliens visit the Earth on a missionof exploration.
Their mandate is to observe, but not interfere.

In the present (1975)...
...scientists discover ancient cave paintings that tell of god-like beings who came down among the primitive humans.
But, the paintings don't tell the whole story, for the aliens are far more human than even they suspect!

Were an Alien Father and Neanderthal Mother the Parents of the First Cro-Magnon?
This tale, written by Doug Moench, illustrated by Alex Nino was likely a "pilot" for an ongoing series, but, due to Jack Kirby's return to Marvel with his similarly-themed Eternals, this ended up being merely an all-but-forgotten one-shot!
Here's a short feature listing both the books produced by Von Däniken and various related books movies and TV shows up to time of publication in 1975!
In Two Weeks:
The other (besides Jack Kirby's Eternals) comic series based on all this mishigas!
(Next Wednesday is April Fools Day)
