Soft cover. Condición: Fine. Set during an alternate history of post-World War II United States, the series follows events after an airborne alien virus is released over New York City in 1946 and eventually infects tens of thousands globally. The virus, designed to rewrite DNA, was developed as a bioweapon by a noble family on the planet Takis, and it is taken to Earth to test on humans, who are genetically identical to the people of Takis. Dr. Tachyon, a member of this family, objects and attempts to stop them. However, his attempt crashes their ship, releasing the virus. The virus affects each individual differently, and it becomes known as the Wild Card virus because of these "random and unpredictable" symptoms. It kills 90% of those who contract it and mutates the remaining percentage. Of that remainder, 9% are Jokers, who develop minor or crippling physical conditions. 1% are Aces, who remain human or mostly human in appearance but develop superhuman abilities; Aces whose abilities are too trivial or specific to be generally valuable are called Deuces. Featuring the work of writer, George R. R. Martin, who is best known for his series of epic fantasy novels, A Song of Ice and Fire, which was later adapted into the HBO series Game of Thrones.

According to a modern source, director Don Siegel considered using the title Sleep No More. Except for the opening and ending sequences at the hospital, the story is told as a flashback, with intermittent voice-over narration by Kevin McCarthy portraying "Dr. Miles Bennell." Those bookend sequences and the narration were added to the script at the insistence of the studio to give the picture an upbeat ending, and shot a few months after principal photography was completed, which accounts for the actors, including Richard Deacon and Whit Bissell, being excluded from the credits. According to a 1969 Films and Filming article, Siegel claimed that Allied Artists studio heads also wanted to edit out some other moments from the film, but it is unclear whether this was done.The title of the film was changed from The Body Snatchers, which was the title of Jack Finney's two-part magazine serial, to avoid confusion with RKO's 1945 production of Robert Louis Stevenson's The Body Snatcher (see entry). Finney's story, which was published in Collier's in November and December 1954, was published as a novel in early 1955. Popular horror novelist Stephen King is quoted on a website as saying that The Body Snatchers "set the mold for what we now call the horror novel." Although only Daniel Mainwaring is credited onscreen as the scriptwriter of the film, some modern sources state that future director Sam Peckinpah, who had a cameo role as "Charlie Buckholtz," worked on script revisions.According to a March 1955 Hollywood Reporter news item, portions of the film were shot in Chatsworth, Sierra Madre, and Woodland Hills, CA. Several locations in the Hollywood Hills' Beachwood and Bronson canyons were also used, among them the corner of Beachwood and Belden drives, a long stairway from Belden to Hollyridge Drive, and the Bronson Caves. An April 1955 Hollywood Reporternews item claimed that thirty-eight location sites were used for the film and that only four days of interior shooting were planned. A website dedicated to the locations for the film adds shooting sites in Glendale, Hollywood, Los Feliz, the San Fernando Country Club, the Chatsworth railway station, and Mulholland Drive at the Hollywood Freeway. Kevin McCarthy's character's office was located in Sierra Madre, overlooking the triangle intersection of Foothill and Baldwin avenues where farmers delivered truckloads of pods.Although, as a May 1955 Hollywood Reporter news item stated, Invasion of the Body Snatchers was the first Allied Artists film to be shot in SuperScope, The Return of Jack Slade (see entry) was the first Allied Artists SuperScope movie to be released. According to an April 1955 Hollywood Reporter news item, Invasion of the Body Snatchers was one of the first pictures to come under a new Los Angeles smog control regulation concerning the shooting of fire scenes and other special film effects. To schedule the shooting of scenes involving fires, the script first had to be approved by the Air Pollution Control District. According to the news item, Los Angeles County also requested script approval of fire scenes.According to a January 1956 Hollywood Reporter news item, the film was to premiere in Detroit, MI, although no date was given for the performance. Invasion of the Body Snatchers was unusual for a horror film, in that it portrayed no violence, and special effects were kept to a minimum. According to Siegel in the Films and Filming article, he and producer Walter Wanger had intentionally agreed to do this. As noted in the Los Angeles Times review, the film ended on an "unresolved note" and the review added, "it seems, the first time [Miles] goes to sleep, he, too, will become a vegetable.".One complaint against the film, as noted in the Daily Variety review, is that the "f.…
