Shadows from Beyond #50
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Reprieve!", Joe Gill and Pat Masulli deliver a twisty tale of greed and consequence, where con man Boyce Haskell’s ill-gotten fortune takes a terrifyingly literal turn. After using a mysterious gypsy’s prediction to fuel a web of deceit, Boyce finds himself fleeing an enraged woman onto a subway—only to witness his fortune literally soaring beyond the planet. Steve Ditko’s striking cover captures the moment’s surreal dread, making this 1966 Charlton issue a standout in the series.
In "Reprieve!", a haunted concentration camp from the past rises again when ex-Nazi commander Hans Schneider, newly acquitted by a hypnotic lawyer named Kreugg, is dragged back to the very site of his crimes—now a spectral prison where the ghosts of his victims linger. The air is thick with dread as Schneider confronts the echoes of his past, and the line between justice and retribution blurs.
In "He'll Go a Long Way," con man Boyce Haskell takes a fortune from the Old Gypsy—“you’ll go a long way”—and sets out to prove it, leveraging borrowed money and shady deals to climb the ladder of greed. When his scheme collapses and his friend Bill lands in jail, Boyce flees, pursued by Bill’s furious wife onto a deserted subway train, where the fortune’s meaning finally takes flight in a way he never expected.
