Race for the Moon #11
In "The Cave Creatures of Xota!" from Race for the Moon #11 (1963), alien invaders pose as ancient wooden statues from an African village, using their disguise to infiltrate the homes of the wealthy and powerful—only to be thwarted by an unexpected twist in the form of a coat of varnish applied by exporters. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with art by John Forte and coloring by Stan Goldberg, this clever sci-fi adventure blends suspense and ingenuity in a story that’s as sharp as its cover by Ray Holloway.
