Description
Steve Ditko must have had plants on the brain, for this story, like Ditko's offering last issue, is about human will-sapping dominating plants. This plant is unsuspectingly picked up off planet X and only reveals its evil plan to destroy all animal life once it is onboard the rocket heading toward Earth. The crew waits for its telepathic domination to ebb then they all resist its commands and head for the escape pod to scuttle the rocket by directing it to crash into the sea.
