☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Worm That Turned to Terror," Jay Hamilton finds himself entangled in a mysterious romance with Zoe Ann, a woman whose bandaged face hides a secret older than she claims. When she insists she’s 300 years old and running out of a magical youth potion, Jay and his father follow her to meet the sorcerer who sells it—only for the truth to unravel in a twist that redefines the night’s journey. Written by Ed Herron and brought to life with dynamic art by Jack Kirby, with lettering by Joe Letterese, this eerie tale unfolds under Nick Cardy’s haunting cover.
In "The Face behind the Mask," Jay Hamilton finds himself drawn to the mysterious actress Zoe Ann Kerns, whose nightly appearances are always hidden beneath bandages. As he and his father help her track down a sorcerer said to sell a magical potion that defies time, the truth behind her ageless appearance begins to unravel—revealing a deception that tests loyalty and belief.
In "I Was a Prisoner of the Supernatural," actor Jasper Murdock takes on the role of Mephistopheles in a theatrical production, but when the part becomes terrifyingly real, he finds himself bound by a pact he never meant to keep. As shadows deepen and the line between performance and possession blurs, Jasper must confront the consequences of his defiance—while Mr. Robley watches, Gilda Greene grows uneasy, and Tom Shields stands on the edge of a truth too dark to name.
