Notes: Anti-communism story.

Notes: Plot elements in common with T-327 "I Was Trapped by the Things on Easter Island!" in Tales to Astonish 5 (Sep 1959), V-15 "Here Comes ... Thorr the Unbelievable" in Tales to Astonish 16 (Feb 1961), and V-560 "Back from the Dead!" (6 pp.) in Tales of Suspense 28 (Apr 1962): the stone heads (moai) on Easter Island (Rapa Nui) are actually huge aliens waiting patiently for their comrades to return.

Notes: Stan Lee makes a cameo. The narrator of the story is telling us how great it is to be a writer for "these weird books." Toward the end, we get a glimpse of what payday was like 'round the ol' Bullpen. The writer stands in the doorway with his coat on. [Not allowed to come in and sit, I guess.] On the glass of the door, we can make out:
St--/
Le--/
Edi--
The editor hands the writer a stack of greenbacks [cheating the gov't, no doubt, by paying the help in cash], and says, "Great stuff! Here's your dough! Now go home an' write some more stories!" [So that's what a story conference was like, huh?] The writer replies, "Thanks, Stan! I'll be back tomorrow with another one!"

Interestingly, at the end, the writer says, "Anyone can write weird stories! You don't have to have talkent ..." - Tom Lammers
