Where Creatures Roam #8
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "When the Mummy Walks," an archaeologist's discovery in a forgotten pyramid unleashes a creature long thought buried—only to find it’s not a ghost of the past, but an alien survivor trapped by its own desperate precautions. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with dynamic art by Jack Kirby and inks by Dick Ayers, this 1971 Marvel tale blends ancient mystery with sci-fi surprise, all captured in Kirby’s iconic cover art.
When archaeologist Paul Kentworth unearths an ancient mummy in the desert, he doesn’t realize it’s an alien survivor trapped for millennia—its sealed tomb a desperate shield against Earth’s atmosphere. As the creature awakens, its long-hibernation proves fatal, and the truth behind its frozen form begins to unravel. With Gloria Carstairs and Jason Wilkes caught in the mystery, the line between ancient relic and extraterrestrial threat blurs in a chilling tale of isolation and unintended consequences.
When a spider at a New Mexico atomic lab is exposed to radiation, it grows to monstrous size—and begins to think like a human. Professor Robert Carter must confront the terrifying intelligence behind the creature’s rampage before it strikes again.
"Behold Him! He Is the Martian!" delivers a crisp, pulpy sci-fi twist in just six pages, pitting a Jupiter spy against a Martian infiltrator aboard Earth’s first Mars-bound rocket. With the fate of interplanetary travel hanging in the balance, Agent X must outwit a double agent posing as pilot Danny Blake—whose mission is to convince Earth to abandon Mars forever.
