Journey into Mystery #81
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeMarvel's Journey into Mystery #81 from 1962 leads with one of the era's most arresting monster-menace covers — a massive, boulder-like orange creature with blazing white eyes towers over a panicking crowd of tiny figures, clutching some in its enormous fists while proclaiming, "None can defy me! I am supreme! I am ruler of all mankind!!" Jack Kirby's cover pencils and inks (finished by George Roussos) give the beast an overwhelming sense of scale and menace, every scrambling human below emphasizing just how outmatched humanity appears. The featured story, "The Ruler of Earth!," promises exactly the kind of imaginative, larger-than-life science-fiction thrills that made this anthology title a cornerstone of early 1960s Marvel.
