Amazing Stories of Suspense #223

In "High Level Visitor," Jack Kirby delivers a striking tale of alien invasion and unlikely diplomacy, set on a remote Pacific island where a tribal chief uncovers a hidden extraterrestrial threat beneath a volcano. With Kirby’s bold storytelling and Wally Wood’s dynamic inks, the story unfolds with a quiet tension as the chief makes a desperate, calculated choice—selling his island to the U.S. for nuclear tests to destroy the invaders. Bill Fraccio’s cover, inked by Dick Giordano, captures the story’s eerie, high-stakes atmosphere in a single, haunting image.
