In "I Captured the Abominable Snowman!", Stan Lee and Larry Lieber team up with Jack Kirby for a wild, thought-provoking tale of power, identity, and unintended consequences. When a dictator uses a duplicator machine to evade assassination, he unleashes a cascade of copies—each more ambitious than the last—leading to chaos and a revolution that forces every version of him into exile. With Kirby’s dynamic art and Dick Ayers’ crisp inks, this 1974 Marvel classic delivers a clever, surreal twist on tyranny, all wrapped in a cover by Larry Lieber and Mike Esposito.
