“I Buried Myself Alive”

In "I Buried Myself Alive," Dr. Ketner, after a lab accident exposes him to deadly radiation, makes the desperate choice to seal himself deep underground to protect those he cares about. Written by Dave Wood and illustrated by George Roussos, this haunting tale from Strange Adventures #179 (1965) explores isolation, sacrifice, and the fragile line between survival and solitude. The cover by Jack Sparling captures the weight of that buried existence in stark, evocative detail.
