Secrets of the Unknown #240
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Spawn of the Unknown!" delivers a classic twist in this 1987 Alan Class issue, where Earth’s panic over a Martian threat gives way to a surprising revelation: the invaders weren’t conquerors, but catalysts for global unity. Jack Davis handles both art and inks with his signature flair, while Artie Simek’s lettering keeps the pace tight. Ogden Whitney’s cover captures the eerie mystery, perfectly framing the story’s eerie tone.
In "Spawn of the Unknown!", a lone hunter stumbles upon a colossal egg on a remote tropical island, unaware of the cosmic forces it awakens. When the egg hatches into a young Roc, he takes the creature as a prize—only to trigger a desperate, interstellar rescue mission from the beast’s parent, arriving from beyond the stars.
In "The Haunted House!" from *Secrets of the Unknown* #240 (1987), two fugitives take refuge in an old house, using ghostly disguises to scare off curious children—only to find themselves terrified by the very noises they didn’t expect. As unseen fifth-dimensional beings stir in the shadows, the line between hunter and hunted blurs in a house that’s never quite what it seems.
