In "I Was Captured by...Korilla!", Stan Lee and Steve Ditko deliver a chilling twist on the everyday, as a man’s late-night vigil at a department store takes a surreal turn when the mannequins begin to move—only to reveal a secret that upends everything he thought he knew. The story’s eerie, dreamlike atmosphere is perfectly captured in Jack Kirby’s cover art, inked by Dick Ayers, and brought to life with Ditko’s distinctive pencils and inks, all colored by Stan Goldberg.
