"Nightmare Planet" is a delightfully absurd 1959 tale from Marvel’s World of Fantasy #16, where a man with hay fever accidentally unleashes a conquering genie—only for the creature to immediately fall victim to the very allergies it now shares. With Steve Ditko handling both pencils and inks, the story unfolds with a surreal, deadpan charm, as the once-dominant genie struggles to survive in a world it can no longer tolerate. The cover, a vibrant collaboration by Carl Burgos and Bob Forgione, captures the lamp’s chaotic release in bold, dynamic lines.
