First Men in the Moon

From 1965, Western Publishing adapted H.G. Wells' classic sci-fi novel into a single comic issue, with writer Paul S. Newman and artist Fred Fredericks bringing the tale of lunar exploration and alien encounter to vivid, mid-century life. This standalone entry in the publisher's line of literary adaptations captures the wonder and peril of Victorian-era space travel through Fredericks' clean, expressive artwork. Though brief, it stands as a faithful, charming snapshot of how the space age reimagined Wells' pioneering vision.
