“The Face of the Enemy”

In "The Face of the Enemy," a restless boy named Johnny is drawn by the strange music of a rock band—only to stumble upon a trio of otherworldly, glowing musicians whose presence proves fatal. Written by Steve Skeates and brought to life with eerie precision by Steve Ditko, this 1976 issue of Weird War Tales delivers a chilling, surreal tale of curiosity and consequence. The cover by Jack Sparling and Vince Colletta captures the unsettling mood, a 30-cent comic that lingers in the mind long after the final page.
