Sinister Tales #157

In "I Am the Scourge of Atlantis!", the king of the sunken city leads his fleet in a desperate bid to reclaim the world above, unaware that centuries of deep-sea pressure have reduced his people to the size of insects. Now facing the towering humans of the surface, he must confront the harsh truth that his people no longer belong in the world they once ruled.

In "I Am... Gorilla!", a sudden atomic explosion transforms a gorilla into a being of human-level intelligence, sparking a moment of wild joy and grand ambition—whether to rule humanity or guide it through reason. But as quickly as the mind awakened, the artificial intelligence begins to fade, leaving the creature caught between worlds.

In "I Was a Prisoner of the Planet of Plunder!", a determined interstellar detective masquerades as a cargo pilot to uncover a string of mysterious thefts that leave no trace. Trapped on an unarmed world where the natives attempt to steal his cargo and subdue him with hypnotic sound waves, he remains unfazed—his deafness rendering their tactics useless.

In "I Saw the Day the World Ended!", a mysterious machine displays a terrifying vision of the Sun burning out—sparking chaos and despair as people believe the end is near. But the truth unfolds when it's realized the machine wasn't showing the end, but the Sun’s birth in reverse.
