In "Lost in the Land of the Lizardmen," Joe Gill and Matt Baker deliver a quietly poignant tale of loyalty and identity, as Mr. Dennison—secret agent from a distant world and longtime pharmacist on Earth—faces a turning point when a new drugstore threatens to expose his cover. With Vince Colletta’s inks lending weight to Baker’s expressive art, the story explores what it means to belong, even when you’re not from here. Al Williamson’s striking cover captures the alien mystery, perfectly framing a tale where friendship might just be the most powerful disguise of all.
