“A Monster at My Window!”

In "A Monster at My Window!", a mad scientist’s accidental invention turns beauty into stone—literally. When his first test subject proves too stunning to keep frozen, he’s left with a shocking consequence he never expected. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with dynamic art by Jack Kirby and inks by Paul Reinman, this 1962 tale blends sci-fi whimsy with a dash of dread. The cover by Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers captures the moment of eerie transformation, a 12-cent marvel from Marvel’s early days.
