When I saw the cover to Journey Into Mystery #68, I had an instant feeling of déjà vu, even though I wasn't reading comic books in mid-1961 when the issue was published.
The creature's name, "Spragg," didn't ring a bell, either. What, I wondered, was this creature reminding me of??
It took awhile before my brain kicked in with the answer:
The invisible "paint" monster from "Jonny Quest." Heh heh.
Admit it, you were thinking the same thing.
YYAAAAAAAHHHH!!!

I was 12 years old when I read this and it almost made me give up reading comics forever. Later I realized "stupid/awesome" was one of the reasons why comics exist, and now I think Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen is the best comic ever.
