House of Mystery #34

In "The Hundred-Year Duel!" from House of Mystery #34 (1955), American native Charlie Whitehorse, of Sioux descent, finds himself drawn into a fateful confrontation with a Crow warrior—bound by a century-old vow. Their relentless nightly duel unfolds in an eerie, empty baseball stadium, a place where ancient bloodlines and forgotten oaths still demand reckoning.

In "The Man Who Became a Fish," Dr. Clay insists he can revert living creatures to their ancient, fish-like origins—leaving two detectives to wonder if a fugitive they’re hunting has truly become one of the creatures in his enormous aquarium.

In a quiet New England fishing village rebuilt after a fire, eerie movements stir the town—wagons roll, boats drift, and statues shift as if touched by unseen hands. A clever newspaperman spins the chaos into a sensation, but the town sheriff, sharp-eyed and skeptical, isn’t fooled by the show.

In "Doom Enters a Beauty Contest!", Jo, a young woman forced into hiding by her manipulative uncle, finds herself drawn into a surreal contest where beauty and deception collide. With her uncle’s twisted tales and control tightening, Amy Leaf must navigate a world where appearances are weapons and survival depends on what’s hidden beneath the surface.
