Under this deceptive cover, a whole different story is told. The film on which this French photo-novel is based is not The Time Machine, but The Mole People, directed by Virgil Vogel for Universal (1956). Edited in 1962, this beautiful image was very kindly given to us by Serge Ghera, a great French collector of "ciné-romans". His exhaus­tive and very documented website can be consulted by clicking here.
