Strange Tales #6
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Uninhabited" is a chilling early Marvel tale from 1952, where a mysterious virus distorts reality by turning people into violent killers—unless they can see their reflection. A reporter, driven by paranoia, accuses his boss of being infected after noticing she avoids mirrors, only to discover her motives are far more personal than he imagined. With art by Harry Lazarus and a striking cover by Russ Heath, this issue delivers a tense, psychological twist that lingers long after the final page.
In "The Eyes of March!" from Strange Tales #6 (1952), a man’s life unravels when a pair of mysterious glasses forces him to see everyone around him as a reflection of his own face. When he shatters the first pair in desperation, a replacement only deepens the distortion—now everyone appears as the lenscrafter himself.
In "The Back Door!" from Strange Tales #6 (1952), a desperate salesman knocks on the door of a funeral parlor, hoping to close a deal—only to find his audience is already beyond selling. When they invite him to join them, he discovers the real price of the afterlife isn't what he expected.
In "The Killers!" from Strange Tales #6 (1952), a reporter’s growing paranoia about a mysterious virus that turns people into killers without reflection in mirrors leads him to a shocking act—only to discover the truth is far more personal and unsettling. As he grapples with the idea that his boss might be infected, the line between fear and reality begins to blur, and the real horror lies not in the virus, but in what he’s already done.
