Marvel Masterworks: Atlas Era Tales to Astonish #1
In "We Found the Ninth Wonder of the World!," the mysterious Thing from Bald Mountain—last seen in a previous tale—awakens and sets its sights on global domination, journeying to America with an ominous purpose. Hidden within a building that doubles as a rocket, it prepares for a journey into space, setting the stage for an otherworldly mystery. Steve Ditko handles both art and inks, with Wesley Wong adding color, while the cover by Jack Kirby (pencils) and Steve Ditko (inks) captures the story’s eerie, cosmic tone.
