Creepy Worlds #221
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "U.F.O.'s...Bunk or the Real Thing?", a Cold War-era spy mistakes a Soviet deception for a Martian invasion, earning sudden fame—only to face a far more serious consequence when a genuine alien vessel arrives and is driven away by the very fear he helped fuel. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with art by Joe Sinnott, this 1984 tale from Alan Class explores the cost of paranoia with a twist that lingers long after the last page. The cover by Lou Wahl captures the tension perfectly.
In "I Discovered the Men from Mars!" from Creepy Worlds #221, a paranoid American spy mistakes a Soviet decoy for a real Martian invasion—only to be hailed as a hero. When a genuine alien vessel finally appears, the same fear drives the U.S. to open fire, sending the visitors fleeing into the void.
In "The Day I Left My Body!" from Creepy Worlds #221, a prisoner uses an unexpected psychic link to manipulate a lawyer into relentless work on his appeal—pushing the man to exhaustion, where his fading focus begins to unravel the very case he’s fighting to save.
