Guardians of the Galaxy Solo Classic Omnibus #[nn]
In "I Challenged... Groot! The Monster from Planet X!", a galactic monarch descends on Earth with a bizarre plan involving a town and a mysterious experiment. When the hero faces off against Groot, it's not with fists or firepower—but with an unexpected army of termites. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with dynamic art by Jack Kirby and inks by Dick Ayers, this classic tale is brought to life in vivid colors by Stan Goldberg and bold lettering by Ray Holloway. The striking cover, painted by Alex Ross, captures the alien spectacle in all its dramatic detail.
