“The Thing in the Vault!”

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.

Creighton finds Sir Geoffrey in Africa and they witness a ceremony where pygmies are sacrificed to the ape god M'Wamba; Sir Geoffrey grabs an idol of M'Wamba and hurls it at the witch doctor and Creighton shoots the witch doctor, but the dying man places a curse on Sir Geoffrey. Sir Geoffrey begins transforming into an ape-like monster. Creighton brings Geoffrey back to England, but Geoffrey escapes him and begins murdering people. Finally he confronts Creighton and Creighton strikes him with the idol; it breaks the spell and kills Geoffrey, just as Geoffrey throttles Creighton to death.
