“The Man Who Played with Blocks!”

In "The Man Who Played with Blocks!", a desperate man flees a train wreck only to find himself entangled in a web of mistaken identity and guilt. When he takes the clothes of a dead man, he’s arrested—but the police think he’s someone else entirely, a murderer who vanished with those very clothes. Written and illustrated by Bill Benulis, with lettering by Joe Letterese, this eerie 1954 tale unfolds with quiet dread, and the haunting cover by Harry Anderson captures its unsettling mood.
