The Death of Monstrollo

Story on Interior Page(s) from base issue

Subject Matter

Genres: horror

Character(s): Charles Hudson; Monstrollo

First Line: He was Monstrollo!

Synopsis: A movie producer's next film is a sci-fi picture featuring a giant robotic monster. Bad press convinces him to abandon the project but just as he's about to disassemble the robot, an alien invasion fleet lands. He sends the robot lumbering towards them and they ineffectively fire their nerve weapons at it. Next, they try gas, which of course has no effect on the machine either. Panicked, they flee to their saucers resolving never to return. People express their sympathy to the movie producer that all that money was spent with nothing to show for it, but he knows better.

Notes: This story is a retelling of "Men in Black" by Stan Lee and John Romita, Sr. from Menace (Marvel, 1953 series) #3 (May 1953). Interestingly, the original and prior tellings were not science fiction stories, and featured an ordinary, human, bigot. The distancing device of making the story a science fiction allegory may be a reflection of growing racial tensions.
