Reading Room SPACE VOYAGERS "Queen Ant"

It's been a while since we looked in on the never-reprinted, psychedelic adventures of the Space Voyagers...

...but, if you have a phobia about insects, it may be the wrong time to check them out!

This kool Robert Kanigher-written, Alex Nino-illustrated tale from DC's Rima the Jungle Girl #5 (1974-75) is the quartet's final published appearance, but we still have one more stand-alone Space Voyagers tale to tell...coming soon!

Reading Room 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY "Vira the She-Demon" Conclusion

We Have Already Seen...

In the prehistoric past, a lone woman, Vira, is granted skills and knowledge by the mysterious Monolith which she uses to manipulate the hostile and less-intelligent men around her to keep herself alive, manipulating their supersitious fears by appearing to be a supernatural being.
Transitioning to the post-2001 world, we encounter astronaut Vera Gentry, assigned to a lonely outpost...

As in the movie and previous issue, the protaganist is "transitioned" to a higher life-form

But what happens when the subject doesn't become a "new seed"...you'll find out next Friday!

Friday Fun 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY "Vira the She-Demon" Part 1

Once more, Clarke and Kubrick's mysterious Monolith becomes a metaphor...

...as Jack (King) Kirby asks the questions only he can answer...in his inimitable style!

To Be Continued...TOMORROW!

It's not clearly indicated how long after the events of the movie this never-reprinted tale from Marvel's 2001: a Space Odyssey #2 (1977) by writer/penciler Jack Kirby and inker Mile Royer takes place.

In the flick, it took months for The Discovery to make it to Jupiter, but astronaut Gentry implies this is almost a second-rate assignment no one wants!

Plus, considering how many lives were lost on the ill-fated Discovery mission, why is she working alone?

But she's still wearing a movie-style spacesuit, so it's probably within 20 years of the movie...
