Journey into Mystery 1972 #14 - back issue - $4.00

An Egyptian tells a disbelieving Westerner of the magic of the Sphinx. Alien invaders land nearby, and the Egyptians stories are confirmed when the Sphinx comes to life and chases them off. The Westerner's remaining doubts are dispelled by a section of the alien ship's tail fin bitten off by the Sphinx.

Earth of 1970 sends an expedition to the moon looking for a place to escape overpopulation. They find a fertile valley and a robotic monster left by the ancient empire of Atlantis to mark their claim to the moon.

Aliens from space wish to conquer Earth, but when they land, temperatures are too high for them and they melt into a blob-like creature.

When a beautiful woman cheats a smitten scientist out of ten thousand dollars to gamble with, he gets revenge by transforming her ageless beauty into stone.
