Spellbound #23

In "I Am the Brute That Walks!", a man desperate to overcome his insecurities turns to science, only to awaken a monstrous form he can't control. As the serum takes hold, his mind fractures and the city trembles beneath his rampage—until the transformation finally fades. When the danger passes, he claims credit for the monster’s downfall and burns his notes, determined to keep the secret buried.

In "Kragoo!", an alien soldier with the power to possess and hypnotize Earth's population is sent on a mission to conquer the planet—only to be trapped when he mistakenly takes control of a statue. Now stranded in human form, he must find a new host before his mission fails and his alien mind fades into silence.

In "I Am the Beast-Man!", a Russian spy’s scheme to mock the West by posing as a talking bear backfires when a dose of radiation—meant to fake the transformation—actually turns him into a real bear. Now trapped in the body of the very creature he impersonated, he must confront the consequences of his deception in a story that blends Cold War tension with surreal sci-fi absurdity.

In the misty hills of Devonshire, an archaeological dig uncovers a long-buried Viking ship—awakening a centuries-old vampire named Garth. With a hunger that defies time, he abducts a woman and vanishes into the countryside, leaving only silence and dread in his wake.
