Colossus Lives Again [Part 1]

Story featuring It, the Living Colossus

Storyline: As the Colossus is being sent to America from the Soviet Union for an International Fair, the crab-creatures of Cancrius III return and try to take over the earth by taking control of the Colossus again. Bob O'Bryan, a scenery designer, comes up with the idea of creating a gigantic plaster of paris monster to trick the crab-creatures into taking it over. Thinking the bigger creature would be a better tool to use to conquer the world, the crab-creatures foolishly abandon the Colossus and enter the fake being. Bob blows the fake monster up, destroying the aliens and saving the Earth.
