Journey into Mystery #10
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Threat of Tim Boo Ba," a desperate performer's unraveling reaches a fever pitch when he takes a bold, terrifying stand on a building's ledge, dressed in a rented tuxedo, seeking fame through a final, public act. The story unfolds with a haunting, surreal edge, rendered in striking, expressive art by Manny Stallman, whose dynamic lines capture the character’s psychological spiral. The cover, a stark and memorable piece by Steve Ditko, perfectly encapsulates the issue’s unsettling tone.
In "Fame!", a desperate would-be actor, broken by universal rejection, takes a final, desperate stand on a building ledge, donning a tuxedo bought with his last dollars to perform for a silent crowd—his moment of reckoning, his leap into notoriety, still hanging in the balance.
In "Shhhh," a scientist working on a secret project is mistaken for someone else when agents of a foreign power kidnap him—only to find they’ve taken a man who escaped from an asylum. When he breaks free, he unleashes a mysterious germ that transforms his captors into apes.
