Uncanny Tales #98
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "A Look At A Backward Planet," a man on a sea cruise witnesses impossible sights—famous landmarks floating on the water—before his mysterious love interest reveals she’s an Atlantean gathering them as souvenirs for her people. Written by Paul S. Newman and illustrated by Bob Powell, this eerie tale unfolds with surreal imagery and a quiet dread, as the man’s disbelief is tested when the island’s supposed movie set vanishes, and the girl herself disappears without a trace. The cover by Bill Molno and Vince Alascia captures the story’s dreamlike unease, making this 1973 Alan Class issue a standout in its series.
In "Something in the Sea!" from Uncanny Tales #98 (1973), Tod Mann is stunned when his companion Wanda casually reveals she’s an Atlantean gathering relics from the surface world—objects like the Empire State Building and the Sphinx floating in the ocean. As the cruise ends and Wanda vanishes without a trace, Tod’s disbelief turns to unease when he learns the island film set was never real and the props were stolen.
