In "The Ice-Creatures Cometh!", a composer discovers his latest composition holds an eerie power over the mind, leading him to attempt a daring heist during a live performance. But when his plan unravels, he finds himself outmatched by a detective who hates music—though not for lack of trying, thanks to his wife’s insistence and a conveniently switched-off hearing aid. Penciled and inked by Bob Powell, with a striking cover by Joe Maneely, this 1973 Alan Class thriller blends suspense and the uncanny in a 0.08 GBP package of mystery and musical menace.
