Creatures on the Loose #23

In "Where Broods the Demon!", Thongor finds himself captured and imprisoned by the fearsome Demon of Zangabal, but his fate takes a turn when he meets the imprisoned Ald Thurmis. Together, they escape the dungeon and face the Demon with the legendary Shield of Cathloda—only for Thongor to stumble into a new peril when he’s captured again by Athmar Phong. When he accidentally shatters the Black Mirror, a powerful entity awakens, and the consequences ripple beyond the mortal realm.

In "The Coming of the Giants!" from Creatures on the Loose #23 (1973), humanity’s pride in its spacefaring ambitions is upended when colossal alien giants descend upon Earth—only to overlook the planet entirely, their sheer size rendering human civilization invisible. The story explores the quiet irony of survival through insignificance, where the very thing that makes us small becomes our greatest shield.
