Strange Tales #70

In "A Giant Walks the Earth!" from Strange Tales #70 (1959), a short lab assistant experiments with a growth serum hoping to reach normal height—only to find himself growing far beyond, facing the thinning air at dizzying altitudes. As his body strains against the limits of the sky, he’s forced to confront what it truly means to be satisfied with who he is.

In "Earth in Chains!" from Strange Tales #70 (1959), alien conquerors from Regulus enslave humanity, reducing people to beasts in their own world. The story unfolds as the invaders' grip tightens—until a sudden, unexpected weakness forces them to retreat, leaving behind a planet forever changed.

In "Ghost Ship!" from Strange Tales #70 (1959), a U.S. Coast Guard crew stumbles upon a derelict Soviet submarine adrift in the Atlantic. The ship's log reveals a terrifying misunderstanding: the crew believed they were attacking an American experimental vessel, only to discover too late that they'd encountered something far beyond human technology.

In "When Wakes the Sphinx!", a skeptical Westerner listens to an Egyptian’s tale of ancient magic—until alien invaders descend upon the desert. As the Sphinx rises from the sands to confront the intruders, the man’s disbelief gives way to awe, and the truth of the legend is proven when the creature bites a piece from the alien ship’s tail fin.
