☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "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.
When a fugitive takes refuge on Easter Island, he 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 who see him as a rare specimen to be taken back to their world. Harry Dawes finds himself caught between the unknown and the desperate, as the Captain of the Stone Men leads an otherworldly journey he never asked for.
