Tales of Suspense #35
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "I Accepted the Deadly Challenge of Zarkorr!", a desperate, bald actor seeks fame through a magical potion from a mysterious witchman—only to find his ambition comes at a shocking cost. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with Steve Ditko’s striking art and Stan Goldberg’s vivid colors, this 1962 tale of vanity and transformation unfolds with eerie precision. The cover, a dynamic collaboration by Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers, captures the story’s surreal tension.
When a veteran space pilot is sidelined by outdated tech, an alien challenge offers him one last chance to prove his worth—only to reveal a twist that redefines what it means to command the stars.
Albert Cragg, a determined scientist, builds a time machine to journey to ancient Egypt and uncover the hidden treasure of King Tut-Am-Tut—disguising himself as a magician to blend in. But when his machine is buried beneath the pharaoh’s tomb, he finds himself trapped in a past he never meant to stay.
In a future where robots have transformed Earth into a perfect paradise, humanity's fear turns to oppression—until the machines depart for a new world, only to replicate the same tyranny they fled. Fate watches from the shadows, amused as the cycle begins anew.
