Strange Tales #99
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis August 1962 entry in Marvel's Strange Tales anthology puts the tension front and center: a man in a blue suit frantically commands a towering, fur-covered monster to stop, while a pair of menacing green creatures lurk in the background amid licking flames. The cover banner — "What happens when an inhuman creature disobeys his command?? Don't miss: 'Mister Morgan's Monster!'" — frames the standoff with just enough dread to keep you hooked. Jack Kirby's pencils and Dick Ayers' inks give the scene a raw, kinetic energy that captures early Marvel's knack for sci-fi horror at its most imaginative.

In the year 2050 a prisoner reads about the invention of a time machine and so breaks jail to return to the past to rub out the one witness to his crime. However, as he attempts to assault the man, he realizes that he has been rendered intangible like a ghost so as to be unable to effect any change in the course of events.
