In "I Created...Sporr! The Thing That Could Not Die!", Earth is visited by fifteen Martian flying saucers that land silently and mysteriously, baffling scientists and military forces alike. When the saucers finally open their ports, those who enter find no crew—only the chilling realization that the ships themselves are the Martians, absorbing human knowledge without ever leaving their vessels. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Steve Ditko, with colors by Stan Goldberg and letters by Artie Simek, this 1960 tale delivers a clever, eerie twist on alien contact, all framed by Jack Kirby’s striking cover art and Dick Ayers’ dynamic inks.

I Created...Sporr! The Thing That Could Not Die!
7 pp · Horror-Suspense
Sporr (giant amoeba)Bruno

In a forgotten corner of the countryside, a scientist inherits Dr. Frankenstein’s castle and sets up his latest experiment: a growth ray. When he tests it on a small amoeba, the creature—now named Sporr—begins to expand, terrifying the villagers who mistake his work for a monstrous revival. With Sporr growing unchecked and the scientist locked away, the fate of the village hangs in the balance as the giant amoeba marches toward the town.

I Know the Secret of the Flying Saucer!
6 pp · Science Fiction

In "I Know the Secret of the Flying Saucer!", 150 mysterious Martian saucers descend upon Earth, silent and still—no pilots emerge, no weapons fire. When scientists and soldiers finally enter the craft, they find no crew, no controls, just an eerie emptiness. The saucers, it turns out, aren’t machines but living beings, and what they’ve learned from humanity’s minds is the one thing they never expected: Earth is not a threat.
