“They Say It Really Happened”

In "They Say It Really Happened," a 1953 Charlton gem, two prospectors stumble upon a meteorite brimming with diamonds—only to meet a sudden end when a confrontation with the landowner turns deadly. As the dust settles, two strangers arrive, dismissing the scene as unremarkable, unaware that the meteor itself is far from ordinary. Cover by Dick Giordano, with interior art and inks by the same, this early sci-fi tale quietly unfolds with a twist that redefines the meaning of interstellar travel.

Steve and another prospector are confronted by the landowner when they discover a meteorite filled with diamonds. All three are killed when they shoot it out. Two men arrive at the scene and conclude nobody will bother with the meteor as they walk away. The meteor opens and the real owner of the meteorite peeks his head out. It is a space traveler with wings and a mechanical box on his chest. He says the meteor was his and he had brought it all the way from Jupiter.
