☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Professor's Visitors," Walter Ostrander vanishes without a trace—only to reemerge as Manuel Algaroba, the world’s only acrobat capable of the impossible spinning twist. What links his sudden transformation to the late Pedro Bargalbo, the one other man to ever master the same feat? Written by Joe Gill and illustrated by Bill Molno, with inks by Vince Alascia and letters by Jon D'Agostino, this 1984 Alan Class mystery unfolds with eerie precision. The cover, a striking collaboration by Dick Giordano, captures the enigma in shadow and motion.
In "Algaroba the Aerial Artist," Walter Ostrander vanishes and returns as Manuel Algaroba, the only acrobat capable of the impossible spinning twist—mirroring the legendary feat of the late Pedro Bargalbo. The mystery deepens as their shared skill hints at a connection neither man remembers, buried in the shadows of a forgotten past.
In "The Man in the Glass Cage!" from *Secrets of the Unknown* #224, a sound engineer's obsession with a woman who rejected him takes a chilling turn when he attempts to kill her using sound waves—only to be undone by the very force he wielded. The story's eerie tension builds around a haunting twist: the girl, secretly hard of hearing, remains unharmed while the weaponized frequencies turn on their creator.
In "Dr. Saba's Surprise," the long-running deception of Dr. Saba and Mr. Kort takes a dangerous turn when their latest attempt to raise the dead might just succeed—leaving one ghost with a purpose far beyond their control. With only seven pages to unfold, the story builds quiet dread as the line between performance and peril begins to blur.
