Stories
- Dragon Seed · 22 pages
Aliens crash land in the orient, explaining from whence came the stories of Dragons, and how Fin Fang Foom came to be on Earth. Most of the rest of the story is exposition and description of how fact got turned into legend. The ending comes as Iron Man comes face to face with Fin Fang Foom.
