Secrets of the Unknown #83

· Alan Class · 1/- [0-1-0 GBP]
“Spawn of the Unknown!”

In "Spawn of the Unknown!", a tiny alien invasion takes a hilariously misfired turn when the extraterrestrials, convinced Earthlings have vanished into hiding, trigger their ultimate bomb—only to obliterate a boy’s ping pong ball and themselves in the process. Steve Ditko’s distinctive art and storytelling bring a surreal, deadpan twist to the alien invasion trope, while Ogden Whitney’s cover captures the absurdity with sharp, expressive flair.
