In "The Thing in the Vault!", Creighton and Sir Geoffrey uncover a deadly ritual in Africa tied to the ape god M'Wamba, where a cursed idol sets off a chain of horrors. After the witch doctor’s dying curse transforms Geoffrey into a monstrous ape, Creighton must track his friend across England as the creature unleashes a brutal killing spree. Gene Colan’s striking art brings this eerie, early horror tale to life, blending jungle mysticism with gothic dread in a 1949 classic.
