Secrets of the Unknown #164

In "The Man in the Crazy Maze," a scientist’s experiment with a legendary golden serum leads to an unexpected twist when he tests it on his dog—turning everything the animal touches to gold. With the dog’s newfound power, he begins giving away the gold to help others, but greed soon catches up when a selfish man breaks in, leading to a tense confrontation. The story’s striking visuals, drawn with precision by Bernie Krigstein, bring a surreal, almost dreamlike quality to the tale, while the cover by Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko adds a dramatic, otherworldly flair.
