Uncanny Tales #163
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Enigma of Edith!", the Finites—aliens who believe humanity will evolve into smaller, weaker beings—launch an invasion, only to be stunned when they find Earth's humans larger than they expected. Written by Joe Gill and illustrated by Jon D'Agostino, this 1984 tale from Uncanny Tales #163 delivers a clever twist on first-contact tropes. The cover, by Ogden Whitney, captures the moment of alien disbelief with sharp, classic flair.
In "Mistake of the Finites," a pair of alien visitors from a distant world arrive on Earth convinced that humanity has devolved into something small and frail—only to be utterly bewildered when they find humans larger and stronger than they are. The Finites, expecting to dominate, quickly realize their error and flee in retreat, leaving behind a planet that never saw them coming.
