Astounding Stories #138
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Inside the Crystal Globe" delivers a delightfully twisted twist on the carnival trope, with Stan Lee and Larry Lieber crafting a tale where an amnesiac laborer discovers he’s not who he thinks he is—thanks to Don Heck’s expressive art and Artie Simek’s crisp lettering. The story takes a sharp turn when the truth surfaces, revealing a Martian with a mission, all set against Steve Ditko’s eerie, otherworldly cover.
In "The Man From Mars!" from Astounding Stories #138 (1979), a grift-prone carnival owner exploits an amnesiac performer, only to find himself on the receiving end of a cosmic twist when the man’s forgotten past resurfaces. What begins as a con turns into an unexpected reversal when the truth emerges: the man was sent from Mars to capture a human for a zoo, and now the tables are turned.
In "There Is Something Strange about Mister Jones!" from Astounding Stories #138 (1979), a desperate thief targets a man claiming to have a fortune hidden in a locker—only to discover that his victim, Davy Jones, has a far more dangerous secret. As the man drags him through the cold, echoing halls of a forgotten facility, the line between pursuer and prey begins to blur in ways that defy reason.
