In "Dead Storage," a college professor haunted by a forgotten conviction about alien life finds himself taken aboard a spaceship, where he uncovers a shocking truth about his own identity. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Steve Ditko, this 1962 tale blends eerie mystery with a mind-bending twist, all rendered in the distinctive style of Ditko’s pencils and inks, with color by Stan Goldberg and lettering by Joe Letterese. The cover, by Jack Kirby and Paul Reinman, captures the story’s unsettling tone.

In "The Voice of Fate!" from Tales to Astonish #33 (1962), a desperate jewel thief named Walter Krugg hears a chilling prophecy from the Fates themselves—his punishment is coming, no matter how far he runs. Fleeing to Hiroshima during World War II, he believes the chaos of war will shield him from destiny, but the weight of fate is far more relentless than any battlefield.
