“The Man Who Could Change People”

In "The Man Who Could Change People," a 1953 House of Mystery standout, a man haunted by guilt must face the eerie consequences of his crime when a pet albatross named Sinbad relentlessly pursues him. Ed Smalle’s art, inked by Howard Sherman, brings a chilling, dreamlike dread to a tale where the past refuses to stay buried. Curt Swan and Murphy Anderson’s cover captures the story’s unsettling mood with a striking, shadowed image of the avian specter.
