☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Return of the Martian!", Stan Lee and Larry Lieber team up with Jack Kirby and Joe Sinnott for a cosmic twist on a classic witch trial, where a woman’s past comes back to haunt her in ways no one could predict. The story unfolds with a tense courtroom drama rooted in old grudges, only to spiral into something far stranger—leaving the fate of the accused and the man who defends her hanging in the balance. Steve Ditko’s striking cover captures the eerie, otherworldly tone of the tale, a 10-cent marvel from 1960.
In "Return of the Martian!" from Journey into Mystery #58 (1960), a long-imprisoned alien from Mars escapes his confinement and sets his sights on dominating Earth. Though his powers overwhelm the military, his victory is far from guaranteed—something as simple as Earth's germs may be his undoing.
In "I Found Rro...The Thing from the Bottomless Pit!", a team drilling deep into the Earth’s core accidentally awakens Rro, a creature of ancient origin from the planet’s hidden depths. When the humans react with fear and violence, Rro retreats—only for the explorers to later realize too late that the being they feared was neither monstrous nor mindless, but something far more profound.
In "Beware!!! Of the Little Toy Men!!" from Journey into Mystery #58, a frantic man claims he's an alien seeding Earth with toy men meant for conquest—only one reporter takes him seriously. When he reveals a wind-up key in the man’s back, the truth begins to wind up in the most unexpected way.
