“The Boy Who Believed”

In "The Boy Who Believed," a young boy with hidden telekinetic abilities faces a test of trust when his tutor, convinced the power is evil, demands he use it to lift a fallen statue—only to find the boy unwilling, fearing it’s another trap. Penciled and inked by John Forte with lettering by Artie Simek, this 1954 tale from Mystery Tales #22 explores faith, fear, and the weight of belief. The cover, by Matt Fox, captures the moment’s tension in bold, striking lines.
