Journey into Mystery #47

In "It Hides Under the Ground," a cowardly con artist tries to trick two old men with a fake chariot of Odin, but when his workers dig in the wrong spot, they unearth the real thing—pulling the swindler into Valhalla to fight endless battles.

In "The Blinding Flash," a scientist’s groundbreaking device that projects images into the past becomes a tool for both crime and justice. When a thief uses it to retrieve a stolen lighter from the scene of his robbery, he’s caught red-handed—thanks to a detective who also used the machine to witness the crime in real time.

In "The Face in the Darkness," a man's desperate search for contact with a lost loved one leads him to a swami who claims to summon spirits—only to find the spirit silent, unable to answer even basic questions. Years later, he encounters a living relative whose face bears an uncanny resemblance to the spirit he once saw, revealing a truth both strange and profound.
