Marvel Tales #104

In "Freddy's Friend!", a curious alien robot longs to understand humanity and strikes a deal with a greedy man to swap lives, hoping to uncover the source of his newfound wealth. When the robot's kind arrive to reclaim him, they misidentify the human and send him back to their world—only to lock him away in an asylum for the delusional. Written and illustrated by Bill Everett, with additional art and inks by Russ Heath, this 1951 Marvel Tales tale blends sci-fi wonder with a twist of mistaken identity, all rendered in the distinctive style of its creators. The cover by Russ Heath captures the story’s eerie, otherworldly tone.
