Farewell to the Master is a science fiction short story by American writer Harry Bates.

It provided the basis of the 1951 film The Day the Earth Stood Still and its 2008 remake.
In 1973, the story was adapted by Marvel Comics for its Worlds Unknown series.
According to Gizmodo, the 1973 adaptation was more faithful to the original story than was the 1951 film.
