In "Sparkle Shore," young Paul Lustig—whose voice carries an uncanny, almost hypnotic power—sets his sights on fame and fortune through any means necessary. When he acquires the wealth he craves, he takes control of half the town of Rickie Wood, only to draw a terrifying force out of hiding when he sings a German opera melody. Art by Arthur F. Peddy with inks by Bernard Sachs, this 1947 classic features a cover by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon, whose dynamic artwork captures the story’s eerie, high-stakes atmosphere.
