Monsters on the Prowl #12
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "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. The story blends sci-fi dread with ancient mystique, all in a taut, seven-page tale from the 1971 anthology Monsters on the Prowl #12.
In "When the Space Beasts Attack!!," a sudden alien invasion leaves Earth reeling as an armada descends with weapons that disintegrate everything in their path. When a farmer named Jo notices the aliens ignore human gunfire, he begins spreading the word—only to discover the invaders aren't targeting people at all. The story, written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, hinges on a quiet revelation that flips the tide in unexpected ways.
