☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Secret Weapon," a space fleet arrives on Earth with conquest in mind, but their confidence wavers when they encounter a farm where fear is nowhere to be found. As Jerad lands and approaches a farmhouse, the defiant Mary stands her ground—she knows their purpose and claims the real threat has already been removed. The tension mounts as the invaders realize they may have walked into a trap, and when her husband returns, the truth behind the strange absence of the film crew begins to unfold. Written and illustrated by Marvin Stein with lettering by Ben Oda, and featuring a striking cover by Joe Orlando, this 1958 Prize Comics issue blends Cold War paranoia with a quietly subversive twist.
In "Secret Weapon," a space fleet arrives on Earth, confident in their conquest after subduing countless worlds. When their advance scout, Jerad, lands in a quiet field and is met not with fear but defiance by a woman named Mary—who insists they leave her flowers alone and claims all that could be damaged has already been hidden—he begins to suspect something is terribly wrong. As the invaders retreat, Mary’s husband returns, and she reveals the truth: the so-called invaders were just actors from a film shoot that’s just ended.
