Menace #4
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "A Vampire Is Born," a desperate spy—framed and hunted on all sides—sees a last hope in a moon-bound rocket, unaware it’s far too small for a human. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated with tense precision by Russ Heath, this 1953 tale blends Cold War dread with sci-fi suspense, all wrapped in a striking cover by Bill Everett.
In "Escape to the Moon!" from Menace #4 (1953), a desperate spy, cornered by both the police and Communist agents, clutches at a desperate hope: a rumored rocket bound for the moon. With no safe haven on Earth, he races to board the test vehicle—unaware it was never meant to carry a person.
In "Genius!", a lonely genius on Earth answers a telepathic plea from a mysterious woman on Saturn, who claims to be waiting for him. He builds a rocket to reach her, only to find her true form is far from the beauty he imagined.
