☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "When the Mummy Walks," an archaeologist's discovery in a forgotten pyramid unleashes a creature from beyond the stars—only to find that the ancient mummy wasn't a threat, but a being who sealed itself away to survive Earth's air. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with dynamic art by Jack Kirby and inks by Dick Ayers, this 1975 Marvel classic blends ancient mystery with cosmic sci-fi. The cover by Ron Wilson and Mike Esposito captures the eerie moment just before the mummy awakens.
When an archaeologist unearths a mysterious mummy in a forgotten pyramid, the ancient figure awakens—only to discover too late that Earth’s atmosphere is deadly to its kind. The story unfolds with a quiet dread, as the alien’s desperate attempt to survive becomes its undoing.
In "Dead Planet!", a lone warrior from a conquering race lands on a world that should be lifeless—yet something about it stirs a deep, unnameable ache. As he searches in vain for signs of life, the silence becomes a burden, and his journey ends not in conquest, but in quiet despair. The truth is stranger than war: the planet is alive, but in a form he can’t comprehend.
In "They Vanished Forever!" from Journey into Mystery #19 (1975), a desperate crew of sailors stumbles upon the legendary Flying Dutchman, drawn by the promise of its cursed gold. Though one man resists the treasure, the others take it—only to be transformed into spectral replacements for the ship’s ghostly crew, vanishing into eternal night.
