In "Lo-Karr, Bringer of Doom!", a desperate scientist's assistant gambles everything on a time machine, fleeing into the unknown with stolen gold and no way back. Stranded in a world so ancient it feels like the dawn of time—or perhaps the final echo of it—his journey leaves him questioning not just where he is, but whether time itself has betrayed him. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated with eerie precision by Steve Ditko, with colors by Stan Goldberg and letters by Artie Simek, this 1961 classic features a cover by Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers that captures the mystery and dread of the unknown.
