“Beware! He Isn't Human!”

In Journey into Mystery #77, a disillusioned Hollywood effects artist constructs an android to punish a woman who rejected him—only to find himself outmaneuvered when she reveals a shocking truth. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with dynamic art by Jack Kirby and inks by Dick Ayers, this 1962 tale of love, deception, and mechanical longing unfolds with a chilling twist. The cover by Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers captures the moment of dread as the androids close in.

A Hollywood special effects man builds an android to slay a woman who rejected his advances because she was "waiting". After he sends the robot to the museum where she works, he relaxes for a sufficient time, and then is startled when she appears at the door with the robot. She reveals that she too, is a robot, and she was "waiting" for a robot to be a mate. The two machines slowly approach him as he backs towards an open window which he falls through.
