In "Klagg! His Mission: Destroy Mankind!", a disgruntled inventor flees his scheming boss by activating a time machine—only to crash-land in a prehistoric world where modern power sources are nowhere to be found. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with dynamic art by Dick Ayers and lettering by Joe Letterese, this 1973 Marvel classic blends sci-fi suspense with a timeless underdog tale. The cover by Jim Starlin and Frank Giacoia captures the eerie tension of a man out of time, stranded where the past is still very much alive.
