Journey into Mystery #23

In "Revenge!" from Journey into Mystery #23 (1955), a man in a labor camp schemes his retribution against a fellow prisoner who wronged him—only to find his chance for justice swallowed by the grim fate of the gas chamber, where both men are led on the day of execution.

In "The Doll House!" from Journey into Mystery #23 (1955), Jo returns to her childhood home years after her parents packed away her beloved dollhouse, believing she’d outgrown it. Now a married woman, she’s unsettled to find the dolls inside, their tiny faces aged and their clothes worn—just as if they’d lived the past decade.

In "Clinging Vine," a paranoid explorer’s wild claim that ivy is secretly plotting against humanity is dismissed as madness—until he’s locked away in a padded cell. With no one watching, the vines slither through the bars, creeping closer with silent intent.
