“The Cosmic Plant!”

In "The Cosmic Plant!", the Man of 1000 Faces, Jay Drews, stumbles into a strange encounter after a show when a mysterious stranger offers him a lifelike Martian costume said to have fallen from the sky. Drawn in by the oddity, Jay buys it, only to discover the costume won’t come off—and it seems to have a will of its own. With bold, expressive art by Bruno Premiani and a striking cover by Bernard Baily, this 1959 tale from House of Mystery blends eerie transformation with classic sci-fi unease, all in a 10-cent comic that still packs a punch.
