Strange Worlds #2
In "I Was a Prisoner on the Planet of Plunder!", the king of Atlantis launches a desperate invasion from the deep, convinced that the surface world still holds the life he once knew. But when his fleet emerges, he discovers his people have been transformed by centuries of underwater pressure—now reduced to insect-sized beings in a world that towers over them. Dick Ayers handles art, inks, and lettering in a striking visual style, while Stan Goldberg’s colors bring the alien scale to life; the cover by Steve Ditko captures the story’s eerie, otherworldly tension.
