Weird Fantasy #18
"Counter-Clockwise" in Weird Fantasy #18 (1997) brings together the legendary storytelling of Ray Bradbury and Al Feldstein with Jack Kamen’s vivid art, coloring by Marie Severin, and lettering by Jim Wroten. When a children’s game about a Martian named Drill begins echoing across the country, Mrs. Morris finds herself questioning whether the playful fantasy might be something far more unsettling—especially as the same strange details keep appearing in different towns. The cover, a striking collaboration by Al Williamson, Al Feldstein, and Roy G. Krenkel, captures the eerie, otherworldly tone of the tale.

Mrs. Morris, at first, thinks nothing of her daughter and a friend playing their game of "invasion". But when Mink starts telling of a Martian named Drill, who is the fore-runner of a Martian invasion of Earth, and Mary discovers that kids of her friends in other parts of the country are playing the same game, she wonders if this is for real.
