Monsters on the Prowl #25
In "Colossus Lives Again," a mysterious creature surfaces only to those with a rare perception—until scientist Ivan Von Gent discovers a way to see it himself. With Gene Colan's moody art capturing the eerie tension, this issue blends suspense and wonder as Von Gent takes up the mantle of watcher, standing between the town and the unseen threat. The cover by Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers perfectly frames the dread and mystery of a world where monsters walk just beyond sight.
