Tales Twice Told STRANGE FANTASY "Monster in the Building!"

Remember this mellow little tale, which we presented HERE?

Well, hang on to your hats, because this is what it originally appeared as...

Was the Comics Code Authority justified in ordering the extensive changes to this tale from Ajax/Farrell's Strange Fantasy #14 (1954) we saw HERE?

Tales Twice Told STRANGE JOURNEY "Hole in the Sky!"

At first glance, this looks like a typical 1950s sci-fi comics tale...
...flying saucers, aliens, and a misunderstanding between humans and "invaders".
A rather typical 1950s tale of a "misunderstood mellow alien".
Note: the cover features a uniformed policeman, rather than the plainclothes detective, confronting the alien!
This was the Comics Code-approved version.
For the original, uncensored, horror comics-era story, you'll have to come back on Thursday!
Art for both the story and cover for this tale from Ajax/Farrell's Strange Journey #2 (1957) by Ken Battefield and the Iger Studios staff.
The scripter is unknown.
