In "Master of the Voodoo Machine!", inventor Jon Garson unleashes a bizarre twist when his duplicator machine takes on a mind of its own—leading him to make a desperate, dangerous move against a romantic rival. Written by Carl Wessler and brought to life with sharp, expressive art by Bernard Baily, this 1967 tale blends science fiction with supernatural unease. The eerie cover, a striking collaboration by Neal Adams, captures the story’s unsettling tone perfectly.
