Written by Otto Binder and illustrated by Ruben Moreira with inks by Al Plastino, this 1957 Showcase #9 delivers a tense, character-driven mystery where every clue could unravel everything. The cover by Al Plastino captures the moment’s quiet tension, a 10-cent story that lingers long after the last page.
