John Wyndham’s The Day of the Triffids has become such a fixture in our popular culture that it is hard not to imagine “Janette Scott fights a Triffid that spits poison and kills”. Or you may think of other adaptations.
What you aren’t likely to recall is that the novel was serialized in Colliers’ Weekly in January-February 1951 as a five-part serial. (Colliers? Yes, Colliers ran quite a bit of Science Fiction that didn’t scream SF, by authors like Ray Bradbury, Jack Finney and Kurt Vonnegut.) Here is the first interpretation of the novel by Colliers’ artist, Fred Bambery.
