Curse of the Weird #1

Dec 1993 · Marvel · 1.25 USD; 1.60 CAD; 0.95 GBP
“Do Not Panic”

In "Do Not Panic," Stan Lee and Steve Ditko deliver a quietly thrilling tale of first contact, where an alien craft descends over a city and its pilot—hidden beneath a fearsome spacesuit—faces a world ready to react with fear. But when the human pilot from Mars removes his helmet, the crowd’s calm response proves that understanding can begin with a single breath. The story, illustrated with Ditko’s signature precision and rendered in full on a cover by Ditko, captures a moment of wonder that feels both timeless and uniquely its own.
