World of Fantasy #17

In "It Hides in the Forest!", a lone robot manning a distant space lighthouse faces doubt from those who question its worth—until a sudden attack by the alien Bruko forces it to make a final, desperate choice. Steve Ditko’s distinctive art brings the quiet tension of isolation and duty to life, while Stan Goldberg’s colors subtly heighten the eerie stillness of the cosmos. The cover, by Jack Kirby and Christopher Rule, captures the moment of looming danger with striking precision.
