Amazing Stories of Suspense #65
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Sink The Carrier Gettysburg!", Stan Lee and Steve Ditko deliver a delightfully absurd tale of unintended consequences, where a man’s desperate quest to shed pounds leads him on a surreal journey after a fateful visit to the mysterious Korumbu. The story unfolds with a twisty, tongue-in-cheek energy, as the protagonist’s magic potion grants a transformation far more extreme than he bargained for—leaving him trapped in a perpetual state of hunger and decay. Ray Bailey’s striking cover art captures the story’s bizarre tone, while Ditko’s distinctive interior art brings the gypsy mystique and escalating panic to life.
In "I Must Find Korumbu!", a desperate man desperate to shed pounds without giving up his love of food turns to the mysterious gypsy Korumbu for a magic potion. After threatening to expose the camp, he’s given the elixir—only to wake up to an empty clearing and a terrifying new curse: he’s losing weight with every passing moment unless he keeps eating nonstop. Now haunted by hunger and the ghost of the gypsy who gave him the gift, he spends his days searching for Korumbu, chasing a cure that may be as elusive as the man himself.
In "The Dangerous Doll," a humble father brings home a curious doll from the field, unaware it’s no ordinary toy. When his lame daughter, Jo, befriends the seemingly lifeless figure, she discovers it’s actually a lost alien child—lonely, hungry, and far from home. As the truth unfolds, a quiet act of kindness leads to a moment of unexpected wonder.
In "Child's Play!" from *Amazing Stories of Suspense* #65, a man obsessed with proving his intellect spends years crafting a device from scavenged parts, only to summon a being from the fourth dimension—only to be told, with quiet finality, that his creation was never more than a toy to beings far beyond his comprehension.
