Marvel Tales #175

In "When Falls the Meteor," Steve Ditko—writing and drawing with his signature precision—launches a standalone tale of transformation and ambition, as a mysterious meteor grants Norton Fester extraordinary strength and agility. With a mind driven by science and a heart set on discovery, he takes up the guise of the Looter not for greed, but to finance his experiments. The story unfolds with Ditko’s distinctive visual style, from the cover’s bold, hand-drawn lines to the intricate interior art, all rendered in a striking palette by Andy Yanchus.
