(I think I may have posted about in in Ye Old Yahoo in the early 00s). Because of it I called Moai "The Things on Easter Island" for years. Back then the story genuinely freaked me out especially as it ends (so I recall ) with the Earthling safe and off to sleep in his own bed, convinced that it was all a dream, not knowing that the Things had found him and were watching through his second story bedroom window. But they are convinced he believes it was a dream and wade back to Easter Island, waiting for their moment to take over the Earth! "I guess it's a little to much to ask that comic book writers do some research, but it's odd they didn't know that the moai have bodies (well, torsos anyway)." -Sweet Daddy Tiki- It was from Tales To Astonish!, and astonishing the reader was the point, not historical/scientific fact. (Like those reality based yawnfests Weird Tales, Tales From The Crypt, Spiderman...) C'mon...When you saw the above cover, weren't you astonished?
