Friday Fun DONALD OF THE DEAD

Combine Don da Con, the 2016 Republican Convention held in Cleveland, and George Romero's zombie films and you get...aw, you guessed!
Explains a lot about Republicans, doesn't it?
This is just an excerpt, since the story runs 36 rather funny and in-joke-laden pages.
Written by Dan Taylor and illustrated by Chris Fason, who also created Hero Happy Hour!

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.

Reading Room JOURNEY INTO UNKNOWN WORLDS "Lost...One World"

James Blane is in for a rough day...
...or is it a rough year...or decade...or...
"A chance to do your life over, with no memory of what you've done previously.
Would you repeat your mistakes, or take a different path...into The Twilight Zone?"
(Sorry, couldn't resist)
This odd tale of time and turnover was the lead (but not the cover feature) in Atlas' Journey into Unknown Worlds #53 (1957).
However, these scans are from Marvel's Worlds Unknown #4 (1974), which had better reproduction.
Art by Bob Powell, but the writer is unknown.
