Creatures on the Loose #1

In "I was Captured by Korilla!", a terrified cab driver finds himself caught in a deadly game when he stumbles upon an alien plotting to invade Earth. With no one to believe him, he must rely on his wits and courage to stop the plan before it's too late.

In "The Unbelievable Menace of Moomba," an explorer stumbles upon a terrifying truth: ancient African wood carvings are, in fact, a hidden invasion force led by the sinister Moomba. When the carvings come to life and begin to dominate their human creators, only a native witch doctor stands a chance at stopping them—using powers beyond known science to force Moomba to retreat, leaving Earth behind.

In "The Underground Gambit," Roger Krass, a disillusioned underground comic artist, is drawn into a strange offer from a shadowy stranger who claims to finally see his real talent—except the price of recognition might be far more than he bargained for. Written by a mysterious hand and illustrated with a gritty, unsettling flair, this 7-page tale from *Creatures on the Loose* #1 (1977) unfolds like a fever dream, where creativity and danger blur in the dark.

In a chilling twist of fate, Igor—tired of his master’s endless demands—takes matters into his own hands, only to find himself alone in the lab with a new kind of burden. Determined to recreate Frankenstein’s work, he attempts to bring a new creature to life, but the experiment quickly spirals beyond his control.
