“The Terror Tiger”

In "The Terror Tiger," a seemingly generous gift—a free TV set from a mysterious stranger—unlocks a sinister alien plot to enslave Earth through hypnotic broadcasts. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with dynamic art by Jack Kirby and inks by Dick Ayers, this 1988 Alan Class comic delivers a classic sci-fi twist with a surprising twist of gratitude. The cover by Sy Barry captures the eerie allure of the alien device, setting the stage for a story where the real power lies in the antenna the landlord unknowingly removed.

A couple with a nasty landlord get a free TV set from a stranger. It is a device sent by aliens to enslave Earth by hypnotizing people through the sets in preparation for their landing force. The couple snap out of the hypnosis and the aliens from Pluto realize that their plan has failed and leave Earth. It turns out the landlord took down the antenna that the couple had set up to improve reception of the set, and the couple express their overwhelming gratitude to the puzzled landlord.
