Adventures into Weird Worlds #12
"Find the Pin and Pick It Up" introduces a curious alien scout from an underground civilization sent to assess the surface world’s vulnerabilities—only to find that humans aren’t afraid of his fearsome appearance. Ed Winiarski handles both pencils and inks for the story, delivering a distinctive early Marvel look, while Bill Everett’s cover art captures the eerie, otherworldly tone with his signature dynamic style. A 10-cent comic from 1952, it’s a standout in the weird tales anthology series.
