“Gorgilla Strikes Again!”

"Gorgilla Strikes Again!" delivers a delightfully eerie tale from Steve Ditko, whose distinctive art and storytelling shine in this 1978 Alan Class standout. When a mysterious man claims to be an alien using toy men to invade Earth—only one reporter taking him seriously—the truth is revealed in a chilling detail: a wind-up key in the man’s back. The cover, a dynamic collaboration by Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers, captures the story’s suspense with bold, otherworldly flair.
