Monsters on the Prowl #30
In "I Saw Diablo! The Demon from the Fifth Dimension!", Stan Lee and Larry Lieber team up with Jack Kirby for a classic Marvel mystery that kicks off with a twist: an inventor’s accidental creation turns people to stone—starting with a stunningly beautiful victim who stuns him into mercy. But when his own experiment backfires, he becomes the statue he never meant to be. Jack Kirby’s dynamic art, with Paul Reinman’s inks and Artie Simek’s crisp lettering, brings the eerie suspense to life, while the cover by Larry Lieber, John Romita, and Al Milgrom captures the moment of shock and dread. A 25-cent marvel from 1974, this issue stands out for its eerie premise and timeless blend of science and the supernatural.
