Spanning the period from the 1939 World's Fair to the last Apollo space mission in 1975, it depicts an optimistic and ambitious era fueled by industry, engines, electricity, rockets, middle-class pop culture, and the atom bomb...A lively trip through a half century of technological evolution, Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow? is also a perceptive look at the changing moods of our nation - and the enduring promise of the future." - from back cover.

My First submitted by sara on July 24, 2014, 12:41pm This is the first and only graphic novel I've read, so I don't know how it compares to others, but I enjoyed it. It took me back through my childhood and the imaginations of the future we had. I liked the comic book within the comic book idea- with the comics increasing in price from 10 cents to 25 cents. I liked the inclusion of real photographs. I liked the line (at the end of a list of people who had died) "The Soviet Union died in 1991 of natural causes." And I learned a few things as well. Interesting.
