Journey into Mystery #64

In "I Dared to Battle...Rorgg, King of the Spider-Men!!," a boy named Jo faces down an alien spider-monster terrorizing a New Mexico town, proving that courage and creativity—inspired by the very comics he reads—can be the most powerful weapons of all.

In "I Found the Lair of...the Lizard Men," a fugitive seeking refuge stumbles upon a hidden cavern where a society of reptilian humanoids survives in darkness—unable to endure the surface world. When he dares to steal the glowing diamond that sustains their world, he is cursed with a monstrous transformation, becoming one of them and forever severed from his past.

In "I Must Find Korumbu!" from Journey into Mystery #64 (1961), a man desperate to shed pounds without giving up his love of food seeks out the mysterious gypsy Korumbu for a magical cure. When the gypsy hesitates, the man threatens to expose the camp, forcing a reluctant agreement—and a potion that begins to work far too well. Now trapped in a relentless spiral of hunger and dwindling form, he spends his days chasing the vanished gypsy, haunted by the price of his wish.
