"The Ancient Secret" in Fantasy Illustrated #1 (1964) introduces Adam, a man disillusioned with life, whose attempt to end it is interrupted by the enigmatic Dr. Hillory—only to discover that even this act of mercy may be part of a deeper, unsettling design. Written by Eando Binder and Bill Spicer, with art by Bill Spicer and D. Bruce Berry, and a striking cover by Landon Chesney, this early issue blends psychological tension with a mysterious, otherworldly undercurrent.
