Journey into Mystery #44

In "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.
