In "The Star of Venus," a lone mountain climber stumbles upon a girl forged from ice, her presence both miraculous and mysterious. As their bond deepens, a hidden mental block from her people begins to fray—his dreams haunted by her, pulled back to her world even as he tries to return to his own. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with expressive art by Mort Drucker, this haunting tale unfolds with quiet intensity. The cover by Bill Molno and Vince Alascia captures the icy allure of the story’s central mystery.
