☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "I Was Captured by the Creature from Krogarr!", a boy’s desperate warning about an alien landing is dismissed—until the spaceship returns, and the truth emerges in the most unexpected way: the tree on the hill wasn’t just a tree, but a living alien being. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with dynamic art by Jack Kirby and inks by Sol Brodsky and Dick Ayers, this 1971 Marvel classic blends childhood wonder with cosmic mystery. The cover, a striking collaboration by Jack Kirby, Marie Severin, and Dick Ayers, captures the eerie moment just before the truth is revealed.
In "I Was Captured by the Creature from Krogarr!" from *Creatures on the Loose* #13 (1971), a careless man finds himself in over his head when an otherworldly being begins hunting him through the static of his TV—only to be thwarted by the most mundane of human failures: a missed electric bill. The story unfolds with eerie precision, blending cosmic dread and everyday absurdity in just seven pages.
In "Midnight on Haunted Hill," a boy's claim of seeing a strange craft land on the hill near his home is met with skepticism—until the ship returns, revealing that the ancient tree at its peak was no ordinary plant, but something far more mysterious. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, this eerie six-page tale blends childhood wonder with quiet cosmic dread.
