Where Monsters Dwell #19
In "The Insect Man," Stan Lee and Steve Ditko deliver a chilling tale of greed and spectral justice, where a prince's treachery is undone by the lingering spirit of a long-dead king. The haunting power of a portrait and ghostly hands set the stage for a chilling confrontation, all rendered in Ditko’s signature eerie style. The cover by Gil Kane and John Romita adds a striking, sinister edge to this 1973 Marvel classic.
