Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with dynamic art by Jack Kirby and inks by Steve Ditko, the story unfolds with a sense of awe and dread as the creature surfaces, stirring panic before succumbing to the air it cannot endure. The cover by Gil Kane, with inks by Alan Weiss, captures the moment with haunting intensity.
In "Gargantus!", a deep sea explorer stumbles upon a colossal, intelligent reptile beneath the ocean's surface—only to unwittingly bring it to the world above. As the creature ventures across the land, its sheer size and mystery ignite fear in the people it encounters, but its struggle to survive in the air soon becomes impossible.
In "The Things from Dimension X!", a scientist's daring experiment opens a portal to the dimension Electra—only to unleash beings obsessed with conquest. When they surge through, the carved faces of Mt. Rushmore suddenly come alive, standing as an unexpected defense against the invasion.
