"Unusual Tales", a series presenting Steve Ditko's comics from 1957 to 1959 that are in the public domain.
"Menace Of The Invisibles" is a 3-page story from Charlton's THIS MAGAZINE IS HAUNTED #13 [1957]. It has only been reprinted in GHOST MANOR #54 [1981].
Dr. Haunt has a great looking title page illustration this issue, but actually takes a break from narrating the story in order to facilitate the surprise ending. Anyway, it's yet another tale of a thwarted alien invasion of Earth, which apparently used to happen on a weekly basis back in the 1950s. Good looking story, in addition to Dr. Haunt on the first page I really like the layout and shadows of page 2.
This story appears in TALES OF THE MYSTERIOUS TRAVELER #32 [2020] from SD Publishings, so only the first page is previewed below.
