“The Menace of the Maple Leaves”

In "The Menace of the Maple Leaves," violinist Marko Orlatti undergoes a mysterious transformation after a ghostly visit during anesthesia leaves him miraculously cured—no surgery needed. Written by Joe Gill and brought to life with eerie precision by artists Bill Molno, Sal Trapani, and letterer Jon D'Agostino, this 1957 Charlton tale blends suspense and the supernatural in a story that lingers long after the final page. The cover, a striking original by Steve Ditko, captures the unsettling mood of the tale with its stark, haunting imagery.
