World of Fantasy #18
In "The Creatures Who Captured Earth!", a disgruntled inventor flees his corporate overlords with his own time machine, only to find the future police waiting—and the past suddenly his only escape. When the machine fails, he awakens young, with no memory of who he was, and a chance to start over. Steve Ditko’s striking art and Stan Goldberg’s vivid colors bring this mind-bending journey to life, while Jack Kirby’s dynamic cover sets the tone for a tale of second chances and unexpected futures.
