“Chapter One: I Created the Colossus!”

In "Chapter One: I Created the Colossus!", Soviet dissident Boris Petrovsky is coerced by his loyal brother Ivan into constructing a massive statue to honor the Iron Curtain regime—only for an alien crash to transform the monument into a living, terrifying Colossus. Jack Kirby’s dynamic art and Stan Lee and Larry Lieber’s gripping script launch a chilling tale of unintended consequences, set against a backdrop of political tension and sudden, unstoppable power. The cover by Kirby and Ayers captures the moment of dread as the statue awakens, its fate now beyond human control.
