Spellbound #29

In "The Man in the Cellar," a kind-hearted carnival operator with a soft spot for children finds himself at the center of a hidden cosmic mystery when he uncovers a group of displaced alien families living in his basement. Written by Carl Wessler and illustrated with eerie precision by Steve Ditko, this 1956 tale blends whimsy and wonder with a touch of the uncanny, all wrapped in Joe Maneely’s striking cover art.
