☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Anatomical Monster," Professor Darrow constructs a robotic bodyguard, L2, to defend General Blair from Martian invaders—only to find his trusted aide, Major Garond, plotting Earth’s surrender. When Garond steals the robot’s schematics and murders Darrow, L2’s final act of defiance leads to a dramatic end on a cliffside, leaving the professor to wonder if the machine truly malfunctioned or acted with purpose. With art by Norman Nodel and inks by Vince Alascia, and a cover by Alvin Hollingsworth, this 1953 Avon classic blends Cold War paranoia with early robotics, all wrapped in a chilling, suspenseful tale.
In the dim glow of a curio shop, medical student Jo Kirk stumbles upon an eerie anatomical chart—too lifelike to be mere art. That night, the meticulously drawn figure of a dissected man rises from the page, stepping into the world with a hunger that defies death. As Jo races to destroy the cursed illustration, he realizes too late that some monsters aren’t born—they’re drawn.
In "Crimson Death," Jack and Daisy, seeking to revive their stagnant dance act, plunge into voodoo rituals with reckless flair—only to awaken something far more dangerous than applause. As shadows stretch and whispers coil through the air, the two are stalked by a dread that grows with every beat, their once-shared stage now a nightmare of paranoia and dread.
In "The Haunted Murderer," John Dunn is tormented by a bizarre, naked poltergeist with pointy ears—a ghostly presence that seems to mock him at every turn. As guilt over a recent murder festers, the apparition grows bolder, pushing Dunn toward a desperate, inevitable end.
In "Robot Model L2 -- Failure!", Professor Darrow's experimental robot, L2, is designed to protect General Blair from Martian invaders—only to become entangled in a deadly betrayal when Major Garond, the general’s trusted aide, conspires with the enemy. As Garond steals crucial plans and assassinates Darrow, L2’s final act of violence unfolds in a dramatic clash that ends with both men plummeting from a cliff. Darrow, unaware of L2’s sentience, believes the machine failed—yet the truth of its choice remains buried in the wreckage.
