“I Was a Human Satellite!”

In "I Was a Human Satellite!", a terrified crewmember flees his space patrol ship in an escape pod, only to crash-land on a mysterious asteroid that hides a pirate stronghold. With his fear pushing him to the brink, he must summon courage in a small radio room to send a warning that could save his comrades. Steve Ditko’s striking art and Stan Goldberg’s bold coloring bring this tense, isolated adventure to life, while Jack Kirby’s dynamic cover captures the moment of desperate flight.

A claustrophobic finds his fear too great for him to bear and he takes an escape pod out of the space patrol ship.

When the space patrol lands and apprehends the pirates they welcome him back to the force.
