House of Mystery #228

Dec 1974 · DC · 0.60 USD
“The Wisdom of Many, the Wit of One”

In "The Wisdom of Many, the Wit of One," archaeologist Edgar Preston stumbles upon an ancient scroll that visually maps out a man’s life in vivid, surreal scenes—scenes that eerily mirror his own. As the images begin to unfold in reality, Preston finds himself caught in a series of bizarre and dangerous events that seem to be preordained. A haunting tale of fate and identity, drawn with striking detail by Carmine Infantino and Frank Giacoia, with a cover by Frank Robbins and Luis Dominguez.
