“--And, Soon Shall Come: The Enchanters!”

In *Super Giant #8* (1974), a painter takes on a peculiar job—coating a mysterious statue with strange paint—only to discover it comes alive at midnight and begins a midnight rampage. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with dynamic art by Jack Kirby and inks by Dick Ayers, this issue blends surreal menace with a clever twist: the key to stopping the statue lies not in force, but in the right solvent. The cover, penciled by Kirby and inked by Vince Colletta, captures the eerie moment just before the statue awakens.
