Where Monsters Dwell #18
In *Where Monsters Dwell* #18, a chilling tale unfolds when a 1971 Mars explorer makes a terrifying discovery: a sentient plant creature that has eradicated all life on the Red Planet and now seeks to spread its devastation to Earth. With Stan Lee and Larry Lieber scripting the dread-laden narrative and Jack Kirby bringing the cosmic horror to life through bold, dynamic art, the story builds to a desperate, self-sacrificing act that leaves the fate of the creature uncertain. The cover by Jim Starlin and Dave Cockrum captures the eerie, otherworldly menace of the creature in stark, haunting detail.
