The comic featured a framing narrative of a mysterious traveler recounting eerie and supernatural tales, with each issue presenting a self-contained horror or suspense story. The volume collects the complete run of the series, showcasing work by various writers and artists who brought the radio drama's chilling atmosphere to the comics page.
In "What Wilbur Saw...", a hauntingly quiet tale from 1990, a blind girl named Susi finds solace in her imaginary friend Grulla in the isolated Bavarian Alps. When Grulla finally takes shape and promises a surprise, the arrival of a new adoptive family—strangely named Grulla—brings a chilling twist neither Susi nor the reader could foresee. Steve Ditko’s distinctive art, both in story and on the cover, lends a dreamlike, eerie precision to this unsettling mystery.
In the snow-dusted Bavarian Alps, a blind orphan named Susi finds solace in her imaginary friend Grulla—until one night, the boy from her dreams steps into the real world, vanishes with a promise, and returns in the most unexpected way. The Mysterious Traveler weaves a quiet, haunting tale of faith, sight, and the miracles that arrive when the impossible becomes real.
