Random Reads: "The Shivering Stars" by Wein and Giolitti

Welcome back, Groove-ophiles! We're finishing up our week-long tribute to Len Wein with one of his many stories done for Gold Key. "The Shivering Stars" from Twilight Zone #35 (September 1970), with art by Alberto Giolitti is a great example of Wein's early work. Enjoy!

    Now Gold Key? Len Wein was the Johnny Appleseed of comics scripting throwing his seed to sprout everywhere. One recurrent theme of his over the years was the bad guy getting a fatal comeuppance at the end as in this story.

    "I had no idea Len Wein wrote these."

    Yes, show us "Dragondoom" the story of what happened to archeologist Len Wayne and his lovely young assistant Glynis Oliver.....wonder who wrote that one?
