Sinister Tales #180
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Timeless Tribe!", humanity's pride in its spacefaring future is humblingly upended when alien giants descend—only to overlook Earth entirely, too small to notice. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with art by Don Heck and letters by Terry Szenics, this 1981 Alan Class gem captures a clever twist on scale and survival. The cover, by Kurt Schaffenberger, perfectly frames the story's playful, unexpected premise.
In "The Test!", a lonely experimental psychologist pushes the limits of his research, only to wake from a vivid dream where his intelligent hamsters have turned the tables—subjecting him to shocks whenever he tries to leave the house. The dream leaves him shaken, forcing him to confront the consequences of his experiment before it's too late.
In "The Man Who Watched," a visiting alien from Uranus named Tyssus finds himself bewildered by Earth’s strange customs—especially the warmth of human connection. As he observes an Earth couple sharing quiet moments of love and joy, he begins to question the rigid, loveless marriages back home.
In "The Coming of the Giants!" from Sinister Tales #180, humanity’s confidence in its spacefaring future is upended when colossal alien beings descend upon Earth—only to find the planet’s inhabitants too small to bother with. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, the story explores the quiet irony of survival through invisibility in a universe that measures worth by size.
