Stories

Notes: A selfreferential intro by Stan Lee and the first use of three questionmarks in a title by Lee. This should double the value of the book. And it has a newspaper called The Daily Globe.
Notes: This story is the exact same plot as the Lee/Ditko classic "Those Who Change" from AMAZING ADULT FANTASY 10 (Mar/62). There is another samely titled but different plotted story by John Forte in UNCANNY TALES 32 (June/55).
