Auction History Result #190 TIME MACHINE comic book '60 Rod Taylor Date Sold 12/18/2001Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. Original Vintage Dell Movie Comic Book (measures 7 1/2" x 10") (Learn More) H.G. Wells' The Time Machine, the classic 1960 George Pal science fiction (sci-fi) time-travel romantic adventure thriller ("You will Orbit into the fantastic future!"; "in futuristic Metrocolor"; "It smashes the time barrier... And You take the greatest adventure of your life!"; "Based on the novel by H.G. Wells") starring Rod Taylor (as H.G. Wells), Alan Young (as David Filby, and also his son James Filby), Yvette Mimieux (very young, in her second big screen role as Weena), Sebastian Cabot, Tom Helmore, Whit Bissell, and Paul Frees (as the voice of the Talking Rings). Note that anyone not familiar with the H.G. Wells novel might think that this movie adapted most of its ideas into the screenplay. But actually, the source novel is an incredibly bleak story about a dystopian future, with no romance of any kind. Screenwriter David Duncan, who had written a few 1950s B-science fiction screenplays before this, did a brilliant job completely changing H.G. Wells' ideas into an entirely different story! His screenplay was merely "inspired by" Wells' story, and he deserves far more credit for the success of this movie than he often receives! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: very good. I am not a comic book dealer (although I was a full-time comic book dealer from 1967 to 1976, but the hobby has changed drastically in the past 25 years!). I know nothing about comic book grading, or the terms that are used, but I will do my best to generally accurately and conservatively describe the overall condition of each. I always offer a complete return privilege on everything thing I sell, and this comic book is included! Here is an overview of this comic's condition (see my other eBay sales where I am selling a total of 13 of these comic book adaptations of science fiction films): The comic book is in very good condition. There are creases along the spine and minor scuffing on the background areas of the back cover. The interior pages have darkened somewhat. Otherwise, the comic book is in great condition!
