Tales of Suspense #28
In "Titan, the Amphibian from Atlantis!", a fugitive seeking refuge on Easter Island stumbles upon an ancient scroll that awakens the island’s mysterious stone heads—only to discover they’re not statues at all, but alien beings with a far more bizarre purpose. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with dynamic art by Jack Kirby and inks by Dick Ayers, this 1962 tale blends myth and sci-fi in a story that’s equal parts eerie and imaginative. The cover by Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko captures the eerie grandeur of the moment, making this a standout in the early Marvel canon.
