In "I Defied Gomdulla—The Living Pharaoh!", Stan Lee and Larry Lieber deliver a thrilling tale of alien invasion and unexpected courage, with Jack Kirby’s dynamic art and Dick Ayers’ bold inks bringing the cosmic threat to life. When an alien armada descends on Earth, seemingly unstoppable, it’s a farmer’s quiet observation—why the weapons ignore humans—that sparks a turning point in humanity’s defense. The cover by Jack Kirby and Marie Severin, inked by George Klein and Marie Severin, captures the moment of tension and wonder.

In "I Defied Gomdulla—The Living Pharaoh!", a long-buried alien robot masquerading as an Egyptian mummy-god awakens to summon a cult of followers, threatening to plunge a modern city into chaos—until a sharp-eyed policeman and the robot’s own disillusioned high priest join forces to stop it.
