In the storm-lashed shadows of a remote prison, a convict breaks free through a shattered wall, only to claim he’s not the one in danger—he’s the one being hunted by a shape-shifting creature. As guards dismiss his tale, he delivers a chilling twist: the monster isn’t out there, it’s him. "The Two-Headed Thing!!" unfolds with eerie tension, a tale of identity and terror drawn in bold, dynamic lines by Jack Kirby and inked by Dick Ayers, with cover art by the same duo.
