Marvel Tales #125
In "Where Monsters Prowl," Paul S. Newman and Bill Walton deliver a striking early Marvel tale set in a post-apocalyptic future where Martian colonists, exiled from their home, seek refuge on Earth—only to find it inhabited by primitive survivors of a nuclear war. As the colonists orbit the planet, they watch and wait, hoping humanity will evolve beyond its violent past. The story’s haunting premise is brought to life through Harry Anderson’s evocative cover art, capturing the isolation and tension of a world caught between two eras.
