☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Beware of the Steel Bird," young scientist Collins stumbles upon a terrifying truth: an alien invasion is imminent, signaled by a mysterious fog that puts humanity into a trance. Only Collins, shielded in his lab, escapes the effect—only to be dismissed as mad when he tries to warn the world, even Professor Dobson. The story unfolds with quiet dread, blending scientific mystery and paranoia, all rendered with the distinctive art of Harry Lazarus and the stark cover by Pat Masulli and Dick Giordano.
When a medium warns Helen Morley and Tom Bently of a "steel bird," Helen becomes terrified of flying—only to realize the danger wasn't what she thought. The warning was real, but the true meaning of the steel bird remains hidden, leaving them both to wonder what's really out there.
In "The Night Nothing Happened," young scientist Collins finds himself the only one awake when a mysterious fog descends, paralyzing the world in silent trance. Though he survives inside his shielded lab, his warnings fall on deaf ears—especially when even the revered Professor Dobson dismisses his claims. Trapped in a world that remembers nothing, Collins must confront the terrifying truth that some horrors don’t leave a mark, only a silence.
