Strange Adventures #197

In "The Hostile Hamlet," a stranded alien offers his advanced scientific knowledge to the highest bidder in a small, suspicious town—only to find that the locals have their own secrets. Jack Sparling handles both pencils and inks for the story, while Carmine Infantino and George Roussos deliver the eerie cover. A 12-cent comic from 1967, it’s a standout tale of alien curiosity and human unease.
