Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with art by Don Heck and inks by Don Heck, this eerie tale blends suspense and surrealism. The cover by Jack Kirby and Sol Brodsky captures the story’s unsettling tone in bold, dynamic style.
In the shadowed halls of a seemingly ordinary hotel, a nervous passer-by is trapped by a spy with a bomb and a chilling plan—only to be stunned when the elevator operator, Willy Sloane, calmly vanishes after the spy exits on the 13th floor. Mr. Jordan, the man behind the curtain of the building’s eerie silence, watches from the shadows as the rules of reality itself begin to unravel.
