Amazing Stories of Suspense #117
In "The Warlord and the Witch!", young scientist Collins races against time to warn the world of an alien invasion cloaked in a mysterious fog that paralyzes humanity. Spared only by his lead-shielded lab, he finds himself isolated not just from the invasion, but from the very people who should believe him—especially the skeptical Professor Dobson. With the truth buried beneath disbelief and confinement, Collins must find a way to prove the impossible before the fog returns. Art by Harry Lazarus, lettering by Ed Hamilton, and a striking cover by John Buscema and Tom Palmer.
