Journey into Mystery #66

In "The Return of the Hulk!" from Journey into Mystery #66 (1961), the Hulk—now a cosmic exile—descends upon a quiet town seeking vengeance on the human who once bested him. As his alien rage threatens to consume the community, the man who once defeated him must outwit the monster using nothing but a mirror and the power of reflection.

In "The Black Ray," a criminally imprisoned scientist claims to be building a medical device, but his true aim is far more ambitious—he’s constructing a time machine to escape his fate. With a daring twist, he sends his mind back to inhabit the body of the richest man, only to find himself trapped once more, this time as the Count of Monte Cristo.

In "The Thing Behind the Wall!" from Journey into Mystery #66 (1961), a desperate thief stumbles through a seemingly ordinary wall—only to encounter something ancient and malevolent that has no intention of staying on the other side. Though he escapes, he’s quickly arrested and locked in a cell, where the weight of his experience settles in: he can’t bring himself to touch the wall, not knowing if what he saw was real or a nightmare born of fear.
