About this Collection

This first volume of Marvel Masterworks: Marvel Rarities collects a fascinating assortment of obscure and rarely-reprinted stories from Marvel's early years, featuring appearances by Doctor Doom, the Human Torch, the Thing, and other familiar faces alongside deep-cut characters like Doctor Droom, Gorgilla, and the Faceless One. Spanning material from the 1950s and early 1960s, the collection showcases the oddities and experiments that helped shape the Marvel Universe, including pre-Fantastic Four tales and offbeat one-shots. It's a treasure trove for collectors seeking the weird and wonderful corners of Marvel's pre-superhero and Silver Age output.

A man finds a crashed spaceship and reads the log which shows that the alien was to take the form of an earthling when he lands. The man goes to the Space Agency to warn them but the person he talks to (Professor Crater) pulls a gun on him. The man assumes that Professor Crater must be the alien but then finds out that the log is written in another language so he must be the alien and he has helped himself to be caught.
