Journey into Mystery #17
In "Too Human!", alien invaders take on human forms to study Earth—but as they grow closer to their hosts, they begin to question their mission. When ordered to report back, they choose to protect humanity instead, smashing their communicator and embracing their new lives. Ross Andru's art brings the emotional weight of their transformation, while Ron Wilson and Dan Adkins' cover captures the moment of defiance. A 25-cent comic from 1975, this issue stands out for its quiet humanity in a genre often defined by spectacle.
