Tomb of Darkness #18
In "Something Lurks on Shadow Mountain!", an intrepid explorer stumbles upon an ancient secret beneath Shadow Mountain, unwittingly awakening a dormant robot warrior named Shagg—originally designed as a guardian, now unleashed far too soon. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with dynamic art by Jack Kirby and inks by Dick Ayers, this 1976 Marvel classic blends mystery and sci-fi in a tale where the past comes alive with terrifying consequences. The cover by Ed Hannigan and Tom Palmer captures the eerie tension of the moment, hinting at a buried threat stirring beneath the desert sands.
