Super Giant #8

In "The Glop," a struggling artist named Jo is hired to paint a mysterious statue, unaware that the job will unleash something far beyond canvas and brush. When the statue comes to life at midnight, its sudden rampage forces Jo to confront a creature that's not quite alive—and not quite dead—before it can signal its alien masters. Written by an unknown hand and illustrated by an unknown artist, this 1974 sci-fi tale turns a simple commission into a midnight nightmare of paint, peril, and a surprisingly effective cleanup.

In "Kragoo!", an alien soldier with the power to possess and hypnotize Earth's population is sent to conquer a planet—only to be trapped inside a statue when his possession goes awry. Now stranded on Earth, his only chance to regain control lies in finding a new host before his power fades.

In "Abandoned on Earth!", Thor is stripped of his godly powers by Odin—left with only his Asgardian strength—after defying the All-Father’s command to return home. Now vulnerable and alone, he’s manipulated by the Ringmaster into joining the Circus of Crime, where his strength becomes a weapon for a new kind of chaos.

In "I Am the Man Without a Face," a bigoted man’s cruelty spirals into a lifelong curse when a gypsy’s wrath seals his fate: he can never take off the black hood that now hides his face, a constant shadow of the hate he once wielded. The story unfolds with quiet dread, turning a moment of mob violence into a haunting meditation on guilt and consequence.

In "I Am… Gorak," a legendary magician named Gorak, whose fame is unmatched, snaps when doubted—only to declare that the entire world is a lie, and he alone is real. Facing down the reader with chilling certainty, he vanishes as abruptly as he appeared, leaving only the echo of his claim.
