☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "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.
Silvester J. Meek, a man whose quiet demeanor belies a startling secret, discovers a formula that turns anything he touches into gold—until his friend Ralph Avery begins to suspect the power isn’t human at all. With Daisy Printwhistle caught in the growing chaos, the line between genius and alien manipulation blurs in this 1962 tale of science, deception, and the cost of impossible power.
