...Professor Eugene Whitlock possesses books (forbidden in the year 2001)!
For that crime alone, he is sentenced to death.
The execution is interrupted by the arrival of Morlock, who changes to his lethal plant form to save the scientist because he believes Whitlock can duplicate the serum that allows him to control the transformation.
Morlock drives off the Thought Police and the scientist, though scarred, survives...
Sadly, I couldn't spend 25₵ on the next issue...since it never came out!
If you look at the last page, you'll see Morlock reverting to his human form after being shot.
He probably survived.
And, it's likely the self-destruct system either was defective, or only partially-functioned, leaving the Midnight Man, Morlock, and some of the freedom fighters separated from the Thought Police and able to escape!
As I mentioned earlier, this was a one-time collaboration between two legends (even in 1975) of the comics field...Steve (Spider-Man) Ditko and Berni (Swamp Thing) Wrightson!
This concludes our re-presentation of the time-lost Morlock 2001 series from 1975.
Next week we'll see...
Actually we don't know yet what we'll run, but it'll be interesting, disease/infection-related, and likely never-before seen by most of you!
