In "Doomsday in the Depths," a judge’s routine sentencing takes a bizarre turn when he’s abruptly hurled back in time 300 years, mistaken for a sorcerer due to his modern clothes, a family photo, and a cigar lighter. Stranded in the past and grappling with the strange weight of his own actions, he eventually returns to the present with a changed perspective—leading him to reconsider the justice he once handed down. Written by Carl Wessler and illustrated by Paul Reinman, with inks by Reinman and letters by Joe Letterese, the story unfolds with a quiet, eerie tension, while Wally Wood’s striking cover captures the moment of temporal dislocation.
