Forbidden Worlds #4
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Riddle of Robert O'Malley," a quietly underestimated boy named Herbie proves his worth in ways no one expected—first at the zoo, then at sea, and finally against an otherworldly threat, all while his father remains skeptical. Written by Richard Hughes and brought to life with striking detail by Ogden Whitney, this 1/- comic from Thorpe & Porter captures a rare, earnest hero's journey in a world that doesn’t see him coming. The cover by Whitney perfectly frames Herbie’s unlikely rise, a testament to the quiet power of perseverance.
In "Herbie's Quiet Saturday Afternoon!", a boy underestimated by his father stumbles into a day of extraordinary feats—starting with a daring encounter at the zoo, then rescuing a senator from the open ocean, and finally thwarting an alien invasion, all before the sun sets. Written by an unknown hand and illustrated by an unknown artist, the story turns the quiet chaos of a Saturday into a whirlwind of accidental heroism.
In "Secret of the Space-Giant!" from *Forbidden Worlds* #4, Earth faces an alien invasion led by colossal, humanoid starships that tower over cities and threaten to conquer the planet. When all seems lost, a clever ruse turns the tide—using the invaders’ own fears against them in a battle of wits that could save humanity.
