Monsters on the Prowl #20

In "Oog Lives Again!" from Monsters on the Prowl #20 (1972), a frozen alien named Oog awakens in a remote Arctic outpost, his icy prison shattered by human curiosity. Mocking the terrified scientists and soldiers who gather around him, he declares their world unworthy of conquest—yet his words carry a chilling promise of what comes next.

Jo finds a strange doll in the field and gives it to her lame daughter, unaware the toy is actually a lost alien child longing to return home. As the doll begins to move on its own, the quiet farmstead grows tense with unspoken fears and fragile hope.

In "I Made Time Stand Still," an inventor’s experiment goes awry when he freezes time—leaving only him able to move. He takes advantage of the stillness to rob others, unaware that everyone around him was fully aware of his actions.

When a mine foreman fears his job is at risk from a new robot, he sabotages it by scrambling its control panel—only to realize too late that the machine might have saved him during a sudden cave-in. The story unfolds in the tense, grounded world of a 1972 mining operation, where human doubt meets mechanical precision.
