Journey into Mystery #44
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Menace of the Green Men," a cunning midget criminal uses his size and a ventriloquist's dummy act to pull off daring robberies, aided by a chemist friend whose hobby of developing suspended animation pills goes dangerously wrong. When the chemist panics and reveals the pill he gave his partner lasts twenty years instead of twenty-four, the duo finds themselves in a far more serious situation than they ever imagined. Penciled and inked by Doug Wildey with color by Stan Goldberg, this 1957 tale from Journey into Mystery #44 features a cover by Bill Everett, capturing the eerie, suspenseful tone of a man trapped in a body that won’t wake.
In "While the City Sleeps!", a cunning midget who uses his size to disguise himself as a ventriloquist's doll for daring crimes finds himself in a panic when his chemist friend confesses he accidentally gave him a suspended animation pill meant to last twenty years—not just twenty-four hours. Now trapped in a long sleep, the criminal must rely on his wits and the chemist’s frantic efforts to wake him before the authorities close in.
In "The Strange Power of Henry Grey," a man discovers he can send his spirit across great distances—using the power to torment others, driven by his own bitterness. When he targets his business partner with a reckless, spirit-fueled attack on a model airplane, the stunt backfires in a way that shatters both his scheme and his physical form.
