Menace #2
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Man in Black," a jealous dancer’s desperate act of violence sets off a chilling supernatural chain reaction—when her rival, a witch in disguise, turns her rage into an eternal, inescapable curse. Stan Lee’s eerie tale, illustrated with tense precision by Russ Heath and lettered by Joe Letterese, unfolds in a hauntingly atmospheric 1953 horror story, with a cover by Bill Everett that captures the dread in a single, shadowed figure.
Jo, a quiet lab assistant, risks everything to pilot a homemade rocket to the moon—only to have his ambitious boss steal the spotlight, knock him out, and blast off alone. Now stranded on the lunar surface, Jo’s fate hangs in the balance as the one-way journey begins.
In "On with the Dance!" from Menace #2 (1953), Jo, a desperate dancer denied her role, takes matters into her own hands—only to find herself trapped in a terrifying curse when the girl who got the part is no ordinary rival. The witch’s hex condemns her to dance endlessly, a grim fate that begins the moment the gun is raised.
