In "Haag! Hunter of Helpless Humans!", a desperate publicity agent battles public backlash over a giant paper mache monster meant to hype a new film—unaware that the same spectacle is triggering an alien panic across the cosmos. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with Steve Ditko’s distinctive art and Stan Goldberg’s bold colors, this 1963 tale turns a publicity stunt into an interstellar crisis. The cover, a dynamic collaboration by Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers, captures the monster’s looming presence with thrilling precision.

In the hushed shadows of a forgotten wax museum, Freddy Sloan takes refuge from the law—only to be unnerved by a voice that seems to come from nowhere. When a phonogram record begins playing on its own, the eerie sound sends chills through the still air, leaving Kathy and her father to wonder: who—or what—could have turned it on?

When a publicity agent's oversized paper mache monster backfires on a movie promotion, he's crushed by criticism—unaware that across the cosmos, an alien commander is watching, sees the same creature on a viewscreen, and instantly orders a full retreat. The fate of Earth hinges on a publicity stunt no one expected.
