☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn Journey into Mystery #90, Stan Lee and Steve Ditko deliver a quietly haunting tale of unexpected grace: a fugitive finds refuge with an elderly couple in a communist bloc country, only to return the kindness in a way that defies logic. When their humble shack mysteriously reappears beyond the Iron Curtain—restored and pristine—the couple are left in awe, as their guest reveals himself as an angel, his journey through the occupied land marked by quiet miracles. The cover by Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers captures the story’s eerie, otherworldly tone, making this a standout in the series’ early years.

In a communist bloc country, a weary fugitive finds refuge with an elderly couple, only to vanish the next morning—leaving behind a shack miraculously transplanted and restored just outside the iron curtain. The couple can’t explain the impossible, but their guest’s quiet words suggest a deeper truth: he was an angel, journeying through a land of shadows, and now he’s gone, returning to the heavens.
In "I Am a Robot!" from Journey into Mystery #90 (1963), a crook steals a high-tech robot to pull off a bank heist, only to find himself locked inside his own hideout when a simple command backfires.
