“What Was "X" the Thing That Lived!”

In "What Was 'X' the Thing That Lived!?", Stan Lee, Larry Lieber, Jack Kirby, and Dick Ayers deliver a chilling tale of alien invasion and unexpected vulnerability. When a telepathic, telekinetic extraterrestrial arrives on Earth to conquer it, he effortlessly overpowers human defenses—freezing Washington, DC in ice—only to meet a fatal end in the most unorthodox way. Jack Kirby’s dynamic art and Ray Holloway’s sharp lettering bring this eerie, high-stakes story to life, with Kirby also responsible for the haunting cover.
