☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Enter... The Tong [Special Case 0004]," a man’s desperate warnings in a park take on eerie significance as he realizes his alien compatriots’ plan to infiltrate Earth—disguised as statues—depends on human disbelief. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Steve Ditko, with inks by Ditko and lettering by Artie Simek, this issue blends quiet dread with a chilling premise. The cover by Pete Morisi captures the unsettling moment with striking precision.
In "The Coming of the Giants," alien giants descend upon New York, overwhelming the city with their sheer presence—only to retreat after a brief show of resistance. When the people uncover a hidden projector, they realize the giants' size was an illusion, a carefully crafted deception meant to intimidate. But the truth behind the disguise may be even more unsettling than the threat itself.
In "Twelve Silent Men!", a greedy lawyer’s desperate bid to exploit the future backfires when he steals a time machine—only to find himself on trial before a telepathic jury in a courtroom where silence speaks louder than words. The twist? His own lies can’t shield him when the truth is read straight from his mind.
In "The Warning!", a lone man in a quiet park pleads with bystanders that he’s seen a statue move—his frantic words falling on deaf ears. As he watches them walk away, a quiet satisfaction settles over him, knowing his alien kin’s plan to infiltrate Earth through statues is finally within reach.
