“The Return of...Grogg!”

In "The Return of...Grogg!", a Cold War-era spy thriller with a fantastical twist, Koslov finds himself back in Russia only to confront the terrifying resurgence of the dragon Grogg. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with dynamic art by Jack Kirby and inks by Dick Ayers, this 1961 Marvel classic blends espionage and myth as Koslov hatches a daring plan to send Grogg hurtling into space aboard a Soviet rocket—knowing full well that a Martian encounter could be catastrophic. The cover, penciled by Kirby and inked by Ayers, captures the scale of the peril with bold, otherworldly flair.
