Curse of the Weird #2

In "The Ghost of Grismore Castle!" from Curse of the Weird #2 (1994), a prankster’s dare sends his friend fleeing through the halls of a supposedly haunted castle—only to find the spirits are real. As the joke turns deadly, the prankster learns the hard way that some ghosts don’t take kindly to being laughed at, while his friend, unseen and silent, watches with quiet approval.

In "Bat's Tale!", a terrified fat man is dragged before a coven of vampires who marvel at his capture—rare, even for the Beast-Man. When they demand his name and he remains silent, the man suddenly shifts, revealing his true form and unleashing a shocking attack.

In "The Unsolid Man," a desperate Communist agitator escapes pursuit on a rocket sled that moves so swiftly it bends time itself, granting him fleeting moments where he can pass through solid objects—until the relentless flow of time inevitably reclaims him.

In "No Sign of Life," a team of space explorers scans an entire galaxy, baffled by the complete absence of life—no signals, no colonies, no signs of civilization. As they prepare to leave, they fail to grasp that every planet they’ve surveyed is not dead, but alive in ways they can’t comprehend.
