Forbidden Worlds #7
"In the Beginning!" from Forbidden Worlds #7, a standout tale written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber and illustrated by Jack Kirby with inks by Christopher Rule, delivers a chilling twist on myth and modernity. The story follows a man whose visit to a museum takes a surreal turn when a seemingly mundane encounter with a guard hints at something far older—and far darker—than legend. Ogden Whitney’s eerie cover perfectly captures the story’s unsettling tone, making this a must-read for fans of early Marvel’s mythic edge.

A man with his date at the museum laughs at the painting of Pan. The museum guard chastises him for it, and he leaves. Later, his date sees him on the street and asks him why his hair has fallen out. He doesn't tell her that, as they were leaving the museum, he looked back at the guard walking down the hall and saw that the man had cloven hooves.
