“Step into My Empty Shroud”

In "Step into My Empty Shroud," scientist Lucas faces a terrifying transformation after a venomous spider bite, surviving only by injecting an untested serum—only to find himself caught between man and monster. As his body warps and his instincts shift, he becomes a fugitive hunted by both law enforcement and a monstrous female spider, all while grappling with a form he can't control. Penciled and inked by Sy Grudko, with a cover by Jim McLaughlin, this 1954 tale from Ace Magazines delivers a chilling blend of science and horror in a 10-cent package.
