“Gorgilla Strikes Again!”

In "Gorgilla Strikes Again!", the crew of the first Mercury mission is thrown off course when a stowaway—a woman deeply in love with one of the pilots—boards the ship. Tensions rise as the crew confronts the hostile Mercurians, but it's her quiet courage and devotion that may be the key to survival. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with dynamic art by Don Heck and bold cover work by Jack Kirby, Marie Severin, and Dick Ayers, this 1971 Marvel classic blends sci-fi adventure with a surprising emotional core.
