In "My Coffin Is Crowded," a mind-reading swami’s carefully constructed facade begins to crack when he detects what he believes is an alien infiltrator among the living. Convinced the threat is real, he confesses to years of fraud—only to find the so-called invader is just an actor preparing for a role. With Bob Bean handling both pencils and inks, this eerie 1975 tale blends paranoia and deception in a story that lingers long after the final page. The cover, by Gil Kane and Klaus Janson, captures the unsettling mood with sharp, shadowed detail.
