☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Operation Armageddon" kicks off in Secrets of the Unknown #194 (1980), a 20p British comic featuring a gripping tale from Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, whose distinctive art and inks bring a surreal edge to the story. When a gem merchant ventures into Tibet chasing the world’s largest ruby, he uncovers a terrifying truth: the legendary giant statue guarding it is very much alive—and now on the move. The cover, a striking collaboration by Al Williamson and Wally Wood, captures the moment of dread with precision.
In "The Man Who Dared!", a greedy gem merchant ventures into the remote highlands of Tibet, lured by rumors of the world’s largest ruby hidden beneath a legendary giant statue. After stealing the gem, he flees in his jeep—only to find the mountain pass blocked by a crushing boulder and the statue itself moving, its ancient eyes fixed on him.
In "I Lived a Million Years!" from *Secrets of the Unknown* #194 (1980), a ruthless Asian tyrant sacrifices his people to construct a suspended animation machine, hoping to outlast the coming nuclear war. When he awakens a million years later, he finds Earth abandoned and his civilization reduced to ruins, now a wild and unforgiving world where survival is a daily battle.
