"Farewell to the Master" is a science fiction short story by American writer Harry Bates. It was first published in the October 1940 issue of Astounding Science Fiction on page 58.[1][2][3][4] It provided the basis of the 1951 film The Day the Earth Stood Still[5] and its 2008 remake.[6] In 1973, the story was adapted by Marvel Comics for its Worlds Unknown series.[7] According to Gizmodo, the 1973 adaptation was more faithful to the original story than was the 1951 film.[8]
