Creatures on the Loose #14
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "What Happened in... Dead Storage," a 1971 Marvel classic, a seemingly ordinary elevator operator becomes the unexpected center of a tense standoff when a spy takes a passer-by hostage in a hotel. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber and illustrated by Don Heck, the story unfolds with quiet dread as the operator calmly reveals a chilling truth: the 13th floor doesn't exist—making the bomb a hollow threat. The cover by Jack Kirby and Paul Reinman captures the moment’s eerie stillness, a 20-cent mystery that lingers long after the ride ends.
In the eerie stillness of a high-rise hotel, a cheerful elevator operator meets a terrified stranger and a shadowy spy with a bomb in hand. When the elevator stops at the 13th floor—though no such floor exists—the operator calmly vanishes, leaving the stranger to wonder what truth lies behind the building’s impossible architecture.
In "Forewarned Is Four-Armed!", a prison inmate recounts a chilling encounter with alien beings, claiming they abducted him and left him with a strange, otherworldly mark. The prison psychiatrist listens closely—too closely—his calm demeanor hiding a secret that may be far more dangerous than the inmate’s tale.
