Unusual Tales - They Must Be Like Us

"Unusual Tales", a series presenting Steve Ditko's comics from 1957 to 1959 that are in the public domain.

"They Must Be Like Us" is a 5-page story first published in Charlton's UNUSUAL TALES #15 [1959]. Pretty pedestrian story without much of interest in the artwork.  The ending seems to be setting up something, which is pretty unusual in these anthology books and I assume was never followed up on.

But before the story, some links:
