Tomb of Terror #14
In "End Result," reporter Adams pays a visit to a condemned man whose final warning carries a chilling weight: mankind faces extinction. The man recounts how scientists Dean and Radfield unleashed a living, sentient disease cell—its mind and body beyond human understanding—only for it to consume Dean and escape after Radfield’s desperate struggle. As the killer’s plea echoes, Adams listens, unaware that he himself is no longer fully human. With art by Sid Check and a haunting cover by Lee Elias, this 1954 Harvey classic delivers a slow-burn dread rooted in science gone wrong.

Reporter Adams visits a convicted murderer in his cell, and he is warned by the doomed man that the reporter must warn the world that mankind is about to be wiped out. It seems that Dean and Radfield had isolated a mutant disease cell that was alive, and which had mental and physical properties unknown to science. When Dean sent high voltage through it, there was an explosion and the cell grew and literally overtook Dean's body. Radfield fought the creature, but was arrested for killing Dean while the creature escaped. He pleads with Adams to warn the world, not realizing Adams is a creature.
