Creepy Worlds #47
In "The Strange Visions of Kandor," Stan Lee and Dick Ayers deliver a standout tale from Creepy Worlds #47, where a reimagined Paste-Pot Pete—fed up with being seen as a joke—strikes out in a bold new costume, leading to a showdown with The Thing during a high-stakes Fantasti-Car flight. Cover by Bill Molno and Vince Alascia captures the eerie tone of the story, which blends personal pride, unexpected conflict, and a moment of reckoning during a date that could end everything.

Trying to tell Johnny that Paste-Pot Pete was paroled (for helping The Avengers), Ben & Johnny get into a brawl. Tired of being thought of as a clown, Pete completely redesigns his costume, then takes on The Thing while he's flying his part of the Fantasti-Car. As he's about to go help Ben, Johnny's told by Doris that if he leaves in the middle of their date, he needn't bother returning. After a fierce battle, Ben & Johnny triumph, and after an "explanation," Doris forgives Johnny.
