“Diary of a Madman”

In "Diary of a Madman," Mandro continues his elaborate con, peddling fake occult artifacts as genuine relics—only to find himself mysteriously aged after each successful deception. Written by Dave Wood and brought to life with Curt Swan’s crisp art and Jack Abel’s sharp inks, this 1969 issue from DC features a haunting twist that defies explanation. The cover, a striking piece by Neal Adams, captures the eerie tension of Mandro’s unraveling reality.
