Where Creatures Roam #5
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "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.
Gorgilla, a giant ape seeking to connect with humanity, arrives in New York only to face fear and violence. When he uncovers a plot by communist spies to assassinate a key figure, he intervenes—only to be gunned down by the military, mistaking his intentions. Amid the chaos, Scotty and Anne find themselves caught in the aftermath of a creature’s desperate attempt to be understood.
Sally, the stow-away on the first mission to Mercury, hides aboard with her secret: she’s the lover of pilot Tom. When the crew lands on the alien world, the hostile natives refuse to engage—until Sally’s quiet act of devotion toward Tom reveals a kind of connection the planet’s inhabitants have never seen.
