In "What Makes a Corpse Cry?", an alien lawman posing as a carnival sideshow performer uses his shape-shifting gift to draw out a wanted criminal, all while keeping his true identity hidden. Written by Joe Samachson and brought to life by Carmine Infantino’s dynamic art with Bernard Sachs’ inks, this 1967 Strange Adventures tale blends sci-fi intrigue with the eerie atmosphere of the circus. The cover, a striking Neal Adams original, captures the story’s unsettling tone with its dramatic, shadowed figures.
