Uncanny Tales #136
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Fabulous Misfit!", Stan Lee and Steve Ditko deliver a haunting sci-fi tale set in the year 3000, where a lone pilot—chosen for his isolation and indifference to return—embarks on a journey to the edge of the universe. When he finally comes back, all he can whisper is "I know!"—a haunting echo that leaves scientists both awed and heartbroken. Ogden Whitney's striking cover captures the mystery, while Ditko's distinctive art brings the story’s emotional weight to life.
Ed Farraday dreams of walking through a wall into a blinding light, a vision that unsettles him until a psychiatric doctor dismisses it as wishful thinking. Determined to uncover the truth, he returns to the old Farraday Mansion and discovers a hidden panel in the wall. Inside, he finds a chamber illuminated by a radiant glow—and a chest of treasure that transforms the decaying estate overnight.
In "Journey to the Moon!", teenage fan Oswald T. Hannegan joins astronaut Derek Brand on a lunar mission that takes a startling turn when the crew discovers alien life forms with plans to invade Earth. The story blends classic sci-fi wonder with tense suspense, as the familiar thrill of space exploration gives way to an unexpected threat from beyond the stars.
In the year 3000, a desperate mission launches to reach the end of the universe, sending a pilot with nothing left to lose on a one-way journey. When the ship returns, the man who made it is silent, repeating only "I know!"—a broken echo of a truth too vast to bear. The scientists, shaken, realize the cost of their quest, yet find a quiet wonder in the fact that, for the first time, the man seems at peace.
