Where Monsters Dwell #22
In "Elektro! He Held a World in His Iron Grip!", a novelist seeking solitude in a Transylvanian castle uncovers a chilling secret: the locals’ tales of a demon may be rooted in truth, but the real mystery lies far beyond the legends. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with dynamic art by Don Heck and bold inks by the same, this 1973 Marvel tale blends eerie atmosphere with heartfelt wonder. The striking cover by Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko captures the story’s otherworldly tension, making this a standout issue for fans of classic Marvel sci-fi.
