Journey into Mystery #47
"Bring Back My Body" is a haunting, time-bending tale from Journey into Mystery #47, a 1957 10-cent comic that quietly redefines the boundaries of the supernatural. Written with a touch of melancholy and mystery, the story follows a man’s search for connection beyond the grave, only to uncover a truth far stranger than he ever imagined—thanks to the evocative art of Howard O'Donnell and the moody cover by Bill Everett.

A man who goes to mediums looking to speak to a non-living relative thinks the swami who conjures a spirit is fake because the spirit can answer none of his questions. Only many years later does he learn that his experience with the swami was genuine as he is introduced to the spirit's likeness, a relative who had not been born yet, and thus was unable to answer any of his questions.
