Tales of Suspense #36
In "Meet Mr. Meek! The Most Dangerous Man in the World!", a seemingly ordinary man gains the power to turn anything he touches into gold—only to find his newfound ability is far from human. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with art by Don Heck and colors by Stan Goldberg, this 1962 tale blends quirky science fiction with a twist that redefines what’s truly dangerous. The cover, penciled and inked by Jack Kirby, captures the moment of revelation with bold, dynamic flair.
