"Unusual Tales", a series presenting Steve Ditko's comics from 1957 to 1959 that are in the public domain.
First contacts gone awry from aliens landing on Earth are a popular theme in stories from this era, from Charlton and other publishers. This is an offbeat variation on that one, not sure i completely get the twist at the ending. Still, some very nice art by Ditko, including the space ship design and the various 1950s city scenes. Do a few of the faces look like they had some touch-up work by another artist to anyone else?
