Mystery Tales #38

In "The Man with Two Faces!" from Mystery Tales #38 (1956), a man whose appearance frightens others crafts a handsome mask to win the affection of a woman he admires. When he finally reveals his true face, he’s stunned to discover that his own features have subtly transformed to match the mask he once wore.

In "The Globes That Vanished!" from Mystery Tales #38 (1956), a strange cosmic event sees thousands of planet globes pulled from their stands and drawn into the sky—only to return days later, flipped inside out with land and sea swapped and a chilling message etched across their surfaces: "The alternative to peace."

In "Lost in the Black Tunnel," three crooks seeking refuge in a carnival’s Tunnel of Love find themselves face-to-face with eerie, otherworldly figures known only as 'bad men.' Trapped in the dark, winding passage, their panic mounts as the creatures close in—only to escape into the waiting arms of police outside, unsure if they’ve fled danger or simply traded one nightmare for another.
