Where Monsters Dwell #6
In "I Challenged...Groot! The Monster from Planet X!", a tense moment unfolds aboard a passenger plane when a pilot swerves to avoid a mysterious flying saucer—only to find that every passenger but one was asleep. The lone awake passenger denies seeing anything, but his lie hides a surprising truth: he’s a Martian tourist whose saucer was just trying to pick him up. Written by Carl Wessler and illustrated by Paul Reinman with inks by Reinman and letters by Artie Simek, this 1970 Marvel tale blends sci-fi intrigue with a quiet twist, all framed by Jack Kirby’s dynamic cover pencils and Steve Ditko’s sharp inks.
