It's a story as old as time.
Sculptor is ordered by evil rulers to create tribute to their "greatness".
Flying saucer crashes nearby.
Alien pilot, seeking shelter until rescue, enters statue to protect itself.
Evil rulers' troops arrive.
Alien, believing they are after him/her/it, lashes out!
As they used to say in TV Guide, "hilarity ensues!"
Plotted by editor Stan Lee, scripted by Larry Lieber, penciled by Jack Kirby, and inked by Dick Ayers, this cover-featured story from Atlas' Tales of Suspense #14 (1961) is prime "giant monster" material...except for a really kool, alliterative name like, say, Fin Fang Foom!
