“Let Sleeping Robots Lie”

In "Let Sleeping Robots Lie," a private investigator running ads about flying saucers finds himself outmatched when a mysterious man claims to know the truth—only to reveal he's an alien criminal on the run. Written by Joe Gill and illustrated by Bill Molno with inks by Vince Alascia, this 1960 Charlton tale flips the script on a classic mystery setup. The cover, a striking piece by Steve Ditko, captures the story’s eerie, offbeat tone.
