Another occasional series which will initially promise much, but will no doubt languish in obscurity in favour of seemingly endless photographs of Matthew Waterhouse...
While Stan Lee and Jack Kirby were just starting out on the Silver Age superhero titles that would make their fame (if not fortune, in the case Jolly Jack), the duo were still churning out the giant-monster-awakens-and-causes-havoc-for-the-puny-humans type stories that I have such a fondness for.
Journey Into Mystery #75 [Dec 1961] featured one such tale, entitled "Lo-Karr, Bringer of Doom!", in which what appears to be a giant alien puts the wind up humanity to such an extent that the United Nations put aside their differences, and all races and creeds make peace in order to present a united front against forthcoming alien invasion.
(There is a twist to this tale, but I won't give it away).

Yes Ivan, that's exactly what happened when the Cold War ended...
