“The Man Who Couldn't Sleep”

In "The Man Who Couldn't Sleep," a terrified thief named Harry, haunted by real ghosts he sees only in the dark, seeks help from the mysterious Dr. Mardo. With pills promised to end his nightmares, Harry hopes for peace—but the truth behind the doctor’s cure is far more sinister than he could imagine. Art by Al Hartley, with a chilling cover by Joe Maneely, this 1952 issue delivers a haunting tale of fear, deception, and the deadly consequences of sleepless dread.
