Secrets of the Unknown #218

In "The Dreadful Disc!", a scientist's amnesia-inducing teleportation device sets off a chain of strange events when a convict uses it to escape prison for two weeks. With no memory of his past, the amnesiac con forms an unexpected bond with his partner on the outside—only to end up stealing the man's share of stolen money. Two weeks later, the device sends him hurtling through space, scattering the loot into a river. When he returns, he discovers his partner has been robbed—by a man who can't remember a thing. Written by Carl Wessler and illustrated by Al Eadeh, with a striking cover by Bill Everett, this 1983 tale from Alan Class blends sci-fi intrigue with a twisty, memory-warping mystery.
