Dæmonen #54

In "I begyndelsen var frygten...", Stan Lee and Steve Ditko deliver a chilling twist on fear and perception, as giant undersea creatures descend on New York—only to find the city eerily empty, evacuated for a civil defense drill. The next morning, the Statue of Liberty bears a haunting new detail: skinned knuckles, as if it has been touched by something far beyond human scale. Gene Colan’s striking cover captures the unease of the moment, while the story’s eerie tone lingers long after the final page.
