"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.
