"Strangers in the Night" introduces Harvey Thomas, a humble sewer worker whose life takes a surreal turn when he discovers a magic purse that never runs out of money. Written with a touch of noir flair, the story follows his descent from modest means to opulent excess—and the unsettling way the purse seems to respond to his changing nature. Art by Gerald Altman and Hy Fleishman brings a gritty, dreamlike quality to the tale, while the cover by George Woodbridge captures the eerie allure of the unknown.
