A weary H. G. Wells arrives late to dinner, his clothes torn and his tale extraordinary: he recounts building a time machine, journeying far into the distant future, falling for a gentle soul named Weena, and surviving the terrifying Morlocks in a world where humanity has split into two warring species. Cover by George Wilson, this 1959 Classic Illustrated adaptation brings Wells’ timeless tale to life through the art of Lou Cameron, with a story adapted by H. G. Wells and Lorenz Graham.

In the quiet hum of a 1959 dinner party, a disheveled H.G. Wells arrives late, his clothes worn and his eyes alight with wonder. He recounts his astonishing journey through time—his flight into the distant future, a fragile bond with a kind-hearted woman named Weena, and a harrowing struggle against the hidden Morlocks. When he returns to the present, all he has to prove it is a single, delicate flower she once gave him.
