The problem for me here isn't that they changed the book, the problem
is that the changes are modern-day (well, "modern" when the film was
made) concerns.

It fits, though, because the _Classic Comics_ version of _The Time Machine_,
which was my first exposure to it, follows the film. (Assuming that a
memory of sixty years back is accurate, anyway.)

 Your memory of the comics is better than  mine - about the only one I
remember was the Batman / Batgirl special where Batman is duking it
out with the villain when suddenly Batgirl says "OOOOh - I've got a
run in my stockings", the bad guy turns to look and Batman knocks him
senseless with a blow to the side of the head.
 Probably some of my Batmans would be worth something if I still had
them, ditto my baseball card collection from 1967 (I think) which
included a mint Willie McCovey rookie card.
