Where Monsters Dwell #21
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Fin Fang Foom!", a young Taiwanese historian defies his father’s wishes and the looming threat of invasion by summoning the ancient dragon Fin Fang Foom, using his knowledge of forgotten lore to awaken the beast from its slumber. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with dynamic artwork by Jack Kirby and inks by Dick Ayers, this 1973 Marvel classic blends myth and wartime tension in a story where courage takes the form of wisdom, not war. The cover, penciled by Kirby and inked by Ayers, captures the dragon’s arrival in dramatic fashion.
In a tense moment on the brink of invasion, a young historian from Taiwan named Chan Liuchow defies his father’s demands to take up arms, choosing instead a daring path through ancient magic. With quiet resolve, he awakens the legendary dragon Fin Fang Foom, guiding the beast to the coast to disrupt the enemy fleet before leading it back to its hidden lair and restoring its slumber.
In "The Clutching Hands," a desperate writer commits murder to steal another’s work—only to find the dead man’s hands won’t let go. First, they frame him for his publisher’s death, then sign a confession in his own name, and finally, as the noose tightens, they reach for the gallows switch.
