“The Ghost of Grimm Towers!”

In "The Ghost of Grimm Towers!", a young man discovers a strange power tied to the clay of a witch’s grave—shaping it grants him control over real-world objects. After testing his ability by crafting a miniature Eiffel Tower and destroying it, he’s shaken by news of a global war and, in a moment of despair, molds the clay into a sphere resembling Earth and hurls it against the wall. A chilling, atmospheric tale from 1952, illustrated with eerie precision by Edward Goldfarb and Bob Baer, with a haunting cover by Bill Everett.
