Tales of the Unexpected #14

In "The Forbidden Game," sorcerer Alex Denton is granted immense power—on one strict condition: never ride in a vehicle of a certain color. When he finally tricks the sorcerer into revealing the forbidden shade, fate takes a cruel turn: a crash leaves him color blind, and he unknowingly steps into a car of that very color. With Mort Meskin handling both art and inks, this 1957 tale of temptation and consequence unfolds in crisp, shadow-drenched panels, while Sheldon Moldoff’s cover captures the moment of peril with tense, dramatic flair.
