“I Am the... Gorilla-Man”

In "I Am the... Gorilla-Man," a forgotten space pilot finds unexpected purpose when his slow, aging vessel becomes the first to detect a hidden alien armada threatening Earth. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with dynamic art by Don Heck and bold inks by the same, this 1971 Marvel classic turns a moment of ridicule into a pivotal act of heroism. The cover, a striking collaboration by Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers, captures the intensity of the moment.

An aging space pilot is mocked for his slow ship, but when an invading armada approaches Earth, his ship is the first to see it.
