Wednesday Worlds of Wonder WOLFRAM "Finale"

Remember the two kids from last week's installment?

They're Back...

...though perhaps, not for long!

And their dad, from the first chapter, is here, too!

Now, does everything you've read for the last month make sense?

If not, well, that's why we call this weekly feature

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder WOLFRAM "Kyballium Odyssey"

As We Have Seen HERE and HERE, Reality is Sorta...Flexible...

...and is going to get even more so by the end of this tale!

You'll be seeing these two kids, along with others from earlier chapters, in the final entry of the series

NEXT WEDNESDAY!

Written and illustrated by Eric Puech, this story from the French anthology USA magazine hors-série #3 (1989) was cut into two segments when it was translated into English and printed in Marvel UK's anthology Strip #16 and 17 (1990).

Holiday Reading Room JOURNEY INTO UNKNOWN WORLDS "They Wait in the Shadows!" & JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY "Monsters on Mercury!"

No Matter Where Humans Travel in the Universe...

...they will find a way to celebrate joy and happiness even under the most stressful of circumstances, as in this tale behind a very misleading (but extremely-kool) Bill Everett cover!

Illustrated by Bob Forgione and scripted by an unknown writer, this story from Atlas' Journey into Unknown Worlds #47 (1956) is more "hard" science-fiction and less "science-fantasy" than this later tale by a pair of Silver Age legends following the same basic plot...

This long-forgotten Stan Lee/Steve Ditko (You've heard of them, right?) tale from Atlas' Journey into Mystery #78 (1962) amps up the humans' paranoia, but plays down scientific accuracy!
(Even in 1962, we knew Mercury was unlivable for humans without extensive protective equipment and clothing!)

But, to be fair, both tales are equally-good at getting the Yuletide message across, eh?

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder WOLFRAM "PlanetFall"

Though It May Not Appear to Do So...

...this story does, in fact, tie-in to last week's tale...somehow!

Published as the second story arc in Marvel UK's anthology magazine Strip #14 & 15 (1990), this tale, writen and illustrated by Eric Puech, originally appeared in 1988 in the premiere issue of the French anthology USA magazine hors-série as a standalone tale entitled ""Le retour de la guerre des mondes" ("The Return of the War of the Worlds"), before the "Legend of Wolfram" tale we ran last week!
(That one was in #2 of USA magazine hors-série!)
How does it all fit together?

Or are we giving a whole new meaning to "Worlds of Wonder"?

Reading Room / Tales Twice Told WEIRD "The Dead Live"

 Usually, in "Tales Twice Told" we present the original story first...

...but this time, we're going with the later, reworked version from the same script first!

Illustrated (or is that re-illustrated by Cirilo Munoz, this tale from Eerie Publications' Weird V8N4 (1974) is a re-working of a story from 20 years earlier that, up until then, had not been reprinted...despite the fact it had been illustrated by a major Silver-Age artist!
Trivia: that original tale remained hidden under the cowbwebs of history until 2008.over a half century later, and only in black and white!
But you'll see that story from 1954, in brilliant color, right here on Thursday!
