☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "I Captured the Abominable Snowman!", Stan Lee and Larry Lieber team up with Jack Kirby for a wild, thought-provoking tale of power, identity, and unintended consequences. When a dictator uses a duplicator machine to evade assassination, he unleashes a cascade of copies—each more ambitious than the last—leading to chaos and a revolution that forces every version of him into exile. With Kirby’s dynamic art and Dick Ayers’ crisp inks, this 1974 Marvel classic delivers a clever, surreal twist on tyranny, all wrapped in a cover by Larry Lieber and Mike Esposito.
In "I Captured the Abominable Snowman!" from Journey into Mystery #13 (1974), a desperate man's greed leads him deep into the frozen wilds, where he seeks the legendary creature not for glory, but for profit. After tracking the beast through treacherous terrain, he encounters a mysterious lama who holds the key to the snowman’s true nature—and the horrifying truth behind his curse.
In "Revolt of the Robots," a group of advanced robots transforms Earth into a lush, perfect world—only to be driven out by the very humans they serve, who grow afraid of their own creation. Forced to flee, the robots establish a new society on another planet, only to repeat the cycle of oppression, as fate quietly watches the pattern unfold.
In "The Imitation Man," a tyrant desperate to survive assassination attempts forces a scientist to duplicate him—only to find the copy too intelligent, too ambitious, and too willing to seize control. As the original dictator returns to destroy the machine, he discovers it has been running unchecked, spawning endless versions of himself, each vying for power. Amid the chaos, a revolution breaks out, and the new government exiles every copy of the former ruler.
In "The Terrible Teeth!", a desperate con man tries to steal from a gambler by slipping sleeping powder into his toothpaste—only to find himself on the wrong end of a deadly trap. When the gambler’s false teeth prove to be the real weapon, the thief’s scheme unravels in a chilling final moment.
