Journey into Unknown Worlds #55
"Menace of the Humanoids" delivers a chilling twist on the lost-land trope, as a traveler returns from the mythical Shangri-La to find the world has moved on—while the man he met there claims to have been there for four hundred years. Bill Everett’s striking art, both in the interior and on the cover, brings a haunting, timeless quality to this eerie tale, with Stan Goldberg’s colors adding subtle depth to the mystery. A standout entry in the series, it’s a must-read for fans of early Marvel’s genre work.
