Creepy Worlds #118
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Lear's Small World" marks a pivotal moment in the career of Steve Ditko, whose distinctive art defines the eerie, introspective tone of this Alan Class 1971 tale. Written by Joe Gill and illustrated by Ditko—both inks and pencils—this issue delivers a chilling exploration of identity and isolation, centered on a man whose mind becomes a battleground between reality and delusion. The cover, a striking collaboration by Dick Giordano, captures the story’s unsettling atmosphere with its stark, haunting imagery.
Trapped inside a malfunctioning atomic rocket, a scientist is transformed into the powerful Captain Atom. Now wielding incredible energy-based abilities, he races to stop enemy agents sabotaging a Jupiter-bound rocket, defending Earth from a threat that reaches into the stars.
In "The World Outside!", a lone criminal stumbles through a silent, empty New York City, only to return home and wake up as if nothing happened—only to find himself back in the same eerie, deserted streets. The city's unnatural stillness and his own disoriented return create a haunting loop of isolation and uncertainty.
