Notes

Planet Terry issue 3 on Marvel Database, an external wiki

Original printing

  • Planet Terry issue 3, 26 February 1985

Transformation refers to this story simply as "The Secret Of The Space Warp", though the comic itself goes with "The Saga of Princess Ugly part 6".

For the purpose of wrapping Planet Terry up as quickly as possible before The Transformers relaunches as a full-colour weekly with issue 27, this strip is an abridged version of the back half of "Found", the final story from Planet Terry issue 3, with a recontextualised conclusion.

Edits

  • All pages are printed in black and white.
  • The first page is mostly from "Found":
    • A recap panel, similar to that used for "The Saga of Princess Ugly part 4", is added to the top of the page.
    • Terry's dialogue in the first panel is changed from "It's the Devourer who escaped Game One!" (referring to the events of the previous story, "Deadly Games") to "It's a Devourer – I've seen them in video games..."
    • The second panel is replaced wholesale with the final panel from the fourth page of "Deadly Games"; in its original context, Terry was using a device provided by the Gamesfolk to defend his shrunken-down ship from a fleet of Devourers. Here, it is used as a flashback to Terry's video game experience, gaining a jagged panel border and new narration boxes ("They're always hungry." and "But I didn't know there were real ones.") and replacing Terry's orphaned dialogue ("It does!", replying to his hope that the device works) with "Chew on that, big mouth!"
    • The rest of the page is unaltered.
  • The final page adds a new caption reading "Ahhh! A HAPPY ENDING!", replacing the more cliffhangery "Continued next issue." and obscuring Terry's parents' feet.
