“We Found the Ninth Wonder of the World!”

In Tales to Astonish #1 (1959), a mysterious investigator delves into strange happenings at a newly bought home, uncovering a twist that’s as clever as it is unexpected—this is no ordinary case, and the man solving it might not be quite human. Steve Ditko handles both pencils and inks for the story, bringing a crisp, eerie precision to the tale, while Stan Goldberg’s colors and Artie Simek’s lettering add to the vintage charm. The cover, by Jack Kirby and Christopher Rule, captures the mystery with a striking, otherworldly flair.
