“I Die Too Often”

In "I Die Too Often," a condemned man’s nightmare becomes his grim reality when his electric chair execution finally comes true—only to find that death isn’t an end, but a beginning. Written by Carl Wessler and brought to life with stark, expressive art by Gil Kane, this chilling tale from 1953 explores a soul trapped in an endless cycle of punishment, haunted by the green door that never closes. The cover, a striking collaboration by Sam Kweskin and Carl Burgos, captures the story’s eerie, haunting tone.
