Amazing Adult Fantasy #14
In "Beware of the Giants!", Stan Lee and Steve Ditko deliver a clever, unsettling tale from 1962 where alien conquerors, unnerved by violence, try to exploit human complaints—only to be blindsided by a cop’s angry outburst. The story, illustrated with Ditko’s sharp, expressive art and colored by Stan Goldberg, explores how fear and misunderstanding can backfire, all through the lens of a man who just wanted to vent. Cover by Steve Ditko.

Conquering aliens who detest violence use fear as a weapon instead. They observe a policeman complaining about his lot in life and figure that he will aid them as he says he hates his job. When they approach him and attempt to intimidate him, the officer responds violently. The aliens flee the planet, not realizing that many humans grouse about their lot in life without being serious about what they say.
