Reading Room UNKNOWN WORLDS OF SCIENCE FICTION "Hunter and the Hunted"

A tale that requires careful study...

...since, according to it's author, only one person has ever figured it out on first reading!

Originally published in the one-shot fanzine Abyss in 1970, Marvel's Unknown Worlds of Science Fiction #2 (1975) reprinted the tale after it's writer-artist, Mike Kaluta gained pop culture fame as the illustrator of DC Comics' revival of the pulp hero The Shadow!

UWoSF Editor Roy Thomas commented that Kaluta “…congratulated [him] for being one of the few human beings he’s met who actually figured the story out on first reading.”

Have you figured it out, dear reader?

Created by writer/artist Jim Somerville and published by Malibu/Aircel in 1989, it was vastly-different from the 2003-present graphic novel series created by Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore.

For collectors, there's good news and bad news...

Good news: There's only a four-issue mini series and a one-shot Special to collect!

Bad news: Because it didn't sell well (and has never been reprinted), it's HTF (hard to find) and expensive!

If you thought Jumpin' Jupiter's first story was weird...

Whether it's his ongoing SpaceHawk strip or any of the numerous one-shot tales he did, Wolverton's Golden Age output was always instantly-recognizable!

Those Who Cannot Remember the Past are Condemned to Repeat It

Thank to the "poorly educated" (Don the Con's own words)...

...we're about to relive a nightmare from almost a century ago!

Ironically, a classic work of fiction parallels the events of the past year...including last night!

It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis tells the tale of Presidental candidate and demagogue Berzelius “Buzz” Windrip who uses many of Don (the Con) Trump's rhetorical tactics to sway the uneducated, bitter white men of post-Great Depression America into voting him into office and the terrible fascistic nation that results from letting such as him gain control!
The book was written in 1935 and used Adolph Hitler's rise to power in Germany as it's plotline template!
Will Don the Con continue down the path of Buzz Windrip (and Hitler)?
Lord, I hope not...
