House of Mystery #135
In "Ixar -- Sinister Statue of the Cyclades," engineer Abel White stumbles upon an ancient alien device that grants him control over all metal—only to twist its power for personal vengeance against those who once dismissed his genius. With Howard Sherman handling both art and inks, this eerie tale from House of Mystery #135 (1963) blends sci-fi dread with a classic twist of hubris. The cover, by Dick Dillin and Sheldon Moldoff, captures the story’s ominous tone with a striking, otherworldly silhouette.
