Journey into Mystery #43

In "It's Waiting for Me!" from Journey into Mystery #43 (1957), a man and his dog are haunted by a shared nightmare of a menacing figure lurking just beyond a bend in the road. When his wife, disturbed by the dog’s frantic cries, gives it away, the man’s dreams take a shocking turn—only to find the dog returned, battered and desperate, clawing at his door. The story quietly builds on the bond between man and animal, leaving the weight of their ordeal and the creature’s fate lingering in the silence.

In "The Secret of the Strange Stone," a man discovers a meteorite emitting mysterious rays that cause objects to vanish—then wrestles with the temptation of such power after a haunting dream. With a mirror in hand, he makes a fateful choice that could alter everything.
