☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Dreadful Disc!" from Journey into Unknown Worlds #59 (1957), a scientist’s mind-bending teleportation device sends a convict on a two-week journey that blurs memory and identity. Written by Carl Wessler and illustrated by Al Eadeh with inks by Eadeh and colors by Stan Goldberg, the story follows a man stripped of his past who, upon returning, finds himself entangled in a mystery he can’t remember. The cover by Bill Everett captures the eerie, otherworldly tension of a tale where the mind is as much a prison as the cell.
In "I Wake Up Screaming," a man desperate to escape his past fakes amnesia with surgery and hypnosis, only to be undone when doctors craft a fantasy where he must rescue the one he loves—only to scream out his true name in terror.
When the anniversary of a brutal pirate raid arrives, the crew of the ghost ship finds their past has come calling—ten years of silence shattered by a dread that no treasure can buy. Written by an unknown hand and illustrated by an unknown artist, "Shock at Seven O'Clock" turns a quiet night into a reckoning, where the dead don’t rest and the past is always on the clock.
In "A Shaggy Wolf Tale!" from Journey into Unknown Worlds #59 (1957), a pack of wolves transformed by atomic radiation reaches out to humanity with a surprising request: stop hunting animals for their pelts. In return, they offer a strange gift—coats that grow long and thick, as if woven from the very spirit of the wild.
In "The Man Who Lived Twice!", a scientist’s teleportation device offers a convict a two-week escape from prison—on the condition he returns with no memory of the time spent outside. When the man awakens in a new life, he forms a bond with his partner, only to unknowingly steal the money they were meant to share. Two weeks later, the machine’s return trip sends him through space, scattering the stolen cash into a river. Back in prison, he meets the partner again—only to learn he was robbed by a man who didn’t know who he was.
