In Tales to Astonish #14, a thief discovers a black magic book that promises a time machine powered by electricity—only to find himself stranded in the 18th century when he realizes the past lacks the power source he needs to return. Steve Ditko’s intricate art and Stan Goldberg’s bold coloring bring to life a strange, eerie journey across time, while Jack Kirby’s dynamic cover sets the tone for a tale of science, sorcery, and unintended consequences.
