Strange Tales #3

In "The Shadow!" from Strange Tales #3 (1951), a man awakens to the chilling realization that something is wrong—his shadow is gone. After a violent fall leaves him unconscious, he stumbles through the world only to find his own shadow has vanished, then suddenly reappears, darting away like a living thing. Chasing it through the night, he follows its trail to the cemetery and his own grave, where the truth begins to unfold.

In "Voodoo," a man's desperate gamble with dark magic backfires when his wife discovers his attempt to have her killed—only to turn the tables by enlisting the same voodoo practitioner to make him suffer the same fate. The story unfolds with chilling precision, as betrayal and retribution twist through a tale of greed, fear, and supernatural consequence.
