In "Mr. Misfortune!", scientist Ray Stevens dives into a baffling case of mass hysteria—dozens of people claiming to have seen a giant roaming the city, all later cured by a mysterious healer known only as Handar the Hindu. With no clear explanation and a web of secrets unfolding, Stevens uncovers something far more unsettling than a simple hoax. Penciled and inked by Ruben Moreira, this eerie 1954 tale from House of Mystery blends psychological suspense and the unknown in a story that lingers long after the final page.
