“Gruto! The Creature from Nowhere!”

In Journey into Mystery #67 (1961), a terrified space pilot crash-lands on a strange, Earth-like world that mimics 15th-century Spain—complete with a daring navigator convinced of a round planet. Hoping to exploit the era’s beliefs for fame, he swaps places with the sailor and sets sail, unaware the world he’s on is actually flat. Steve Ditko’s striking art and Stan Goldberg’s vibrant coloring bring this surreal, time-bending adventure to life, with Ditko also handling the cover pencils and inks.

A cowardly space pilot flees a battle until his spaceship runs out of power and he crashes into a bog on an Earth-like planet. He finds himself in a place similar to 15th-century Spain, complete with a sailor who is attempting to prove the planet round with a voyage around the globe. The space pilot thinks this is a sure bet to gain fame and fortune so he arranges to exchange places with the sailor and head out to sea. Unfortunately for him, the planet he has crash landed upon does indeed turn out to be flat.
