Tales of Suspense #11

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.
