☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Thing in the Locked Room!", a desperate thief stumbles into a strangely kind-hearted city where everyone seems to go out of their way to help him—until he’s warned not to touch a mysterious box. The man who shelters him claims it took him fifty years to collect its contents, but the thief can’t resist the temptation, unaware of what he’s about to unleash. With art by John Forte and a cover by Ron Wilson and Frank Giacoia, this 1975 Marvel tale delivers a chilling twist on a classic trope, all for the price of a 25-cent comic.
In "Mystery in Midville," a thief stumbles into a strangely kind city where everyone goes out of their way to help him—until a mysterious man warns him not to touch a particular box, claiming it took him fifty years to fill. Curiosity gets the better of him, and the thief opens the box, unaware of what secrets or consequences lie within.
In "Good-Bye Forever," scientist Hugo Valgon stumbles upon a dimension untouched by greed or violence—only to find that even the purest worlds can be altered by the first spark of human desire. A quiet, haunting exploration of what happens when one man’s curiosity crosses into another realm.
