☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Human Forest," a man is swept into a fog-bound journey to the 16th century, mistaken for a madman and imprisoned—only to break free and return to the present, bringing the asylum keeper with him. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with dynamic art by Jack Kirby and inks by Dick Ayers, this eerie tale blurs time and sanity. The cover by Mac Raboy captures the story’s haunting mood with striking, shadowed detail.
Jo spends a night in a haunted house on the edge of town, bracing for ghosts but finding only silence. The next morning, he realizes the house wasn’t just haunted—it was the ghost all along.
In "The Madness!", a man is swept into a 16th-century asylum, trapped and labeled mad—only to escape and drag the asylum keeper back to the present, where the roles are suddenly reversed. The story unfolds with a chilling twist on perception and reality, where sanity is a fragile thing.
Jo, a quiet man with a penchant for old books, stumbles upon a formula that turns anything he touches into gold—except when it doesn’t. As his newfound power spirals beyond control, his friend uncovers a startling truth: the real danger isn’t the gold, but the alien intelligence behind the spell.
