Christopher Priest is amazing.
I wish I was aware of his work earlier in my life

this seems like one of the Atlas (or maybe at this point it was Marvel already?) comics from their pre-superhero era. aliens being disguised as something on Earth is a pretty common thing for these stories, so that was kinda obvious.
I guess I didn't expect the doll to turn out to be nice to them, but aliens being nice was, too, a pretty common trope for such works.
I think there were some comics from pre-superhero era that managed to surprise me, maybe I can find some of them...

>guy gets arrested for stealing the gold brick
>girl gets put into a foster home and abused
David Barnes
here, found this one. It's from Tales To Astonish #31, the comic series that introduced Hank Pym and Wasp, but also introduced a shit ton of stupid stories.
Christopher Russell
arrested by who? you do know people find gold on land sometimes? Why would he be arrested?
Jaxson Peterson
well, I guess I can credit this story for actually trying to build the mood...
Daniel Rodriguez
but still, it's not very good...
Dylan Kelly
user is just trying to be "funny" and failing.
Ethan Morales
the ending twist really is the most memorable part about this...
John Parker
...mostly because it's so gloriously retarded.
Elijah Cox
is that supposed to be someone in particular?
Caleb Sullivan
Christian Clark
This one is from Tales Of Suspense, the series that gave us Iron Man. This is a bit more surreal, and I actually like it somewhat.
Lincoln Hill
I wholeheartidly enjoyed both the art and the story! I love these 60s era horror comic stories. Thank you, did not expect a ending like that.
Hudson Edwards
Pretty sure they don't find a perfectly made ingot just laying around.
Ayden Morales
I believe this is from ToS #16...
Ian Nguyen
Whatever, unless someone can prove they were missing something, you can;t be arrested for stealing it.
Logan Clark
the art is most probably by Don Heck, his art style is quite recognizable.
Jacob Williams
To whoever is contributing to this thread- please could you suggest some horror comic collections? I know I could easily read these online but I prefer physical copys. Reading the tales you have shared thus far has resparked my love for this classic genre.

That actually was pretty well done. They played a horror comic pretty straight then ended it on a positive note.
Gabriel Cook
another bizarre one from ToS
Anthony Clark
This will end in tears.

Josiah Harris
...So actually 'Harmless doll" would have been more appropriate.

Jacob Long
I actually think Grant Morrison would love this story
Ayden Cook
Well shit that is not what I was expecting.
That may well be the best bait and switch I have ever seen.
Thanks for the storytime user.
Jace Morris
Okay that was pretty good.
David Harris
Im sure he could have slaughtered them if he wanted.
Xavier Scott
IIRC, some giant monster stuff from the 50-60s was reprinted later, but that's about it. Couldn't find any actual collections of short horror stories like those.
Brody Phillips
Idw recently put out a collection of old snake themed horror I was going to pick up a copy but never got eound to it.
Easton Richardson
Landon Anderson
wanna bet?
Jason Allen
I liked that one
Jeremiah Rogers
does anyone else want to know more about this race of alien mannequin people?
Henry Foster
Is this Ditko or someone else? Kinda looks like something he may do
Kevin Butler
Well I am sure there were tears of joy.
Tyler Turner

Ah, they are going for some ol' timey heartstrings.
Luis Miller
Heeeey...
Brody Stewart
Yeah but who would get to the high shelves to get him a sandwich and milk? Who?!
Camden Hill
>the experience I got in the army deciphering messages should enable me to read an alien language
Marx, Lenin or Stalin would have been believable
Gavin Jenkins
>skinny kid holding gold brick with one hand
>electromagnetic energy
Caleb Bailey
Her Body was bathed in fantastic power user, what comics are you reading that aliens giving a girl the ability to lift 300 pounds in one arm is just too unrealistic for you?
Jason Smith
>science fiction = alien technology diagnoses muscle syndrome and repairs DNA as well as existing muscular and skeletal damage
>science fantasy = the medico-module has repaired you with a sound effect and some visuals!
>these godawful comics = makin stuff up at a bar over lunch and having it ready for the presses by 5

In "THE WORLD THAT'S COMING," such impossibilities are made possible! The unbelievable is the assured! But can the human spirit endure?
Kayden Wood
That 4th panel looks exactly like a Fantastic 4 panel.
Gabriel Foster
This is timly right reprint when.
Isaiah Stewart
a panel in specific? or just in general FF panels?
Jaxon Lopez
It's Ditko, all right
Josiah Fisher
Never thought I'd side with red skull when I was 8 now as 29 he makes more sense every fucking day.
Easton Campbell

Ever notice how no one ever randomly busts into your house with the cops and claims that you stole your tv from them?
Sebastian Lee
It's Jack Kirby, you goons. Like shit, he drew the exact same face in every comic, this shouldn't be hard.
Adrian Jones
This was a pretty good mini series.
Samuel Cox
You are a genuine mental midget if you can't enjoy these.
>WAHHH EVERYTHING NEEDS TO HAVE A DRAWN OUT EXPLANATION EVEN IF IT MAKES JUST AS LITTLE SENSE AS A QUICK ONE
You could never work at 2000ad, you'd be a Bendis tier panel waster
Lincoln Campbell
Superman just say to his and Batman son to just jump into a desintegration pool and die, he never tries anything, he just says: go die.
And they do.
Sebastian Parker
I've always been a Cyclops fan since long before Rightclops.
Before he became a badass he was just like me personality-wise: responsible, doesn't swear, follows the rules, high-strung , nerd, etc...
I always really identified with him. There aren't many other superheroes that are like that.
When Whedon and Cassaday put out that first Astonishing run they had that story where Scott doesn't need the visor anymore and runs around for the rest of the story without it.
That really surprised me.
I swear to God, that artwork is like looking in a mirror. I look just like that.
It was the weirdest comic experience I've ever had in my life.
Julian Hughes
This was the only Morrison Animal Man issue I liked.
Jaxson Mitchell
....That milf doll is kind of hot
Carter Barnes
its the eyes, I think
Nathaniel Mitchell
I mean, it's the best issue. The Red Mask issue was strong as well.
