It may even be the first comic book story to use the concept of roaches outliving humans.<br /><br /> The second story was alright, I don't think it was that bad either, it's just that you see this plot A LOT. They re-used it several times during th Googam era 'And that is the story you now hold in your hands!!!'.<br /><br /> The art on either one of them kicks ass.Horror pariahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-60938035150240752942009-06-27T01:31:32.291-05:002009-06-27T01:31:32.291-05:00EWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!...EWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!...Prof. Grewbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16132543249418576650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-8747186293550509322009-06-26T23:09:47.006-05:002009-06-26T23:09:47.006-05:00It's been said already, but it sure was cool t...It's been said already, but it sure was cool to groove on some early Colan panels.

Call me a wimp if you like, but I think these creatures have the same right to live as you and me.<br /><br />And I voted for 'No' in the poll.

The narration in that second story, though... Oy! It doesn't even rise to the level of purple prose. Though maybe it was self parody. After all, on Page two, Slade lists the hackneyed, overused concepts of sci-fi ("Spaceships, Mars, monsters, time Machines, haploids...") and by the end, the story (and Slade himself) manage to combine almost all of these.<br /><br />By the way, "haploids" are an overused idea in science fiction?
