Tomb of Darkness #13
In "The Man in the Tomb!", a twisted experiment in isolation begins when a scientist offers a bizarre deal to a married couple: take a sleeping pill, and you’ll be rid of the other. Written and illustrated by Bob Brown, this 1975 Marvel tale unfolds with eerie precision as the husband and wife are both drugged and secretly sealed into a time capsule—each believing they’ve outsmarted the other, unaware they’re trapped together in a tomb of silence. The cover by Sal Buscema captures the chilling moment with stark, dramatic flair.

A scientist looking for volunteers to spend the rest of their lives buried in a time capsule gives two sleeping pills to a husband and his blabber-mouth wife, lying to each of them that they can be rid of the other if they administer the pill to their spouse. While they are asleep, he transfers both of them to the time capsule.
