In "The House Where Time Stood Still," a mysterious abandoned home in 1943 becomes the center of a wartime mystery when the Presby brothers vanish—locked away for over two decades to escape both World War I and World War II. With the Guardian and a local investigator on the case, the truth behind their isolation unfolds, revealing a hidden danger that could aid the enemy. Written by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, with art by Kirby and inks by Arturo Cazeneuve, this wartime tale blends suspense and wartime paranoia, all wrapped in a striking cover by Fred Ray.
