Where Monsters Dwell #11
In "Gruto! The Creature from Nowhere!", a desperate journalist spins a tale of terror around an amnesiac alien, turning fear into front-page drama. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with dynamic art by Jack Kirby and inks by Dick Ayers, this 1971 Marvel classic explores the cost of sensationalism when the truth finally surfaces. The cover, a striking collaboration by Steve Ditko and Marie Severin, captures the alien’s quiet power amid rising chaos.
