Journey into Unknown Worlds #30
In "The Madman!", a desperate man with a gambling debt hatches a chilling scheme: he convinces his wealthy uncle to take his own life in a way that ensures reincarnation, all so he can claim the inheritance upon the uncle’s rebirth. But when months pass with no word from the estate, the man grows uneasy—only to learn from the lawyer that the uncle’s will left everything to him… if and when he claims it in his next life. Art by Mort Meskin with inks by George Roussos, and a striking cover by Joe Maneely.
