“Birthday”

In "Birthday," a haunting tale from Marvel Premiere #31, a mysterious creature born in a hidden laboratory stirs fear in a quiet town—until panic turns to tragedy when the townspeople storm the lab, killing the scientist and his wife, and unleashing deadly nerve gas that wipes out the entire community. As government forces arrive to investigate, they face off against the creature in a tense standoff that leaves the outcome uncertain. Written by Bill Mantlo and illustrated by Keith Giffen, with inks by Klaus Janson and colors by P. Goldberg, the issue features a striking cover by Jack Kirby and John Verpoorten.
