Strange Tales of the Unusual #2

In "He Waits in the Dark Alley," a homeless man’s desperate attempt to stop an assassination—spurred by reading tomorrow’s paper—ends in confusion and suspicion, only to wake and realize it was all a dream. Bill Everett’s stark, expressive art brings the story’s eerie tension to life, capturing the moment between reality and delusion. The cover, a collaborative effort by Sol Brodsky and Carl Burgos, hints at the lurking dread within.
