Monster Menace #4

In "The Return of the Totem!", an alien conqueror with vast telepathic and telekinetic powers descends on Earth, overwhelming human defenses and freezing Washington, DC in ice—only to meet an unexpected end at the hands of a gorilla, a twist that catches even his advanced mind off guard. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with dynamic art by Jack Kirby and inks by Dick Ayers, this 1994 Marvel classic blends cosmic threat with a uniquely absurd turn of fate. The cover by Floyd Hughes captures the frozen city and the alien’s final, stunned moment in bold, striking detail.
