A couple of pages from 1978's
UFO & Outer Space #16. Per the
GCD, no story credit, but art by Frank Bolle.
It struck me as odd, that this entire issue didn't feature what is now a traditional alien type,
the Greys. This issue does feature the "
Maury Island Mystery," which one of the perpetrators confessed was a hoax; an account of the
Virginia Giant, and a brief recap of Orson Welles's
War of the Worlds broadcast and resulting hysteria.
As a kid in the seventies, I know I thought I saw a UFO once--because I wanted to see one,
so much. Probably wasn't an alien spacecraft, although I still couldn't tell you what it was either.
I really wish you had photo-shopped that one naration box that said Virgina Giant, into Giant Vagina. I'd have paid you.....probably;)
ReplyDeleteGreys huh? Never heard of em' or seem them. Are they a regional thing or do they appear everywhere?
They're the typical, X-Files, Close Encounter kind. You'd know if you saw one!
