"Somewhere in the vast universe, a galactic..."
Storyline
An alien bigot attempts to preach hate by hiding his face under a hood. When he assaults one of the people he is defaming he flees the police to escape capture. When he attempts to remove the hood, he finds another underneath it. He tries again, and there is still another, always another hood. A policeman shakes his head sadly as he walks away from his cell, the bigot convinced he would never have been captured if not for all these hoods. He continues to remove hood after hood with his hands, but there is nothing there.
Story Notes
This story is a retelling of "Men in Black" by Stan Lee and John Romita, Sr. from Menace (Marvel, 1953 series) #3 (May 1953). Interestingly, the original and prior tellings were not science fiction stories, and featured an ordinary, human, bigot. The distancing device of making the story a science fiction allegory may be a reflection of growing racial tensions.
