Tower of Shadows #3
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Moving Finger Writhes...!", a curious student reporter stumbles upon a wax museum that shouldn’t exist—materializing out of thin air across the street. As he investigates, he discovers the figures are not wax at all, but aliens in disguise, and when the police arrive, the museum reveals its true form: a spaceship that lifts off, leaving behind a group of frustrated student reporters who just wanted a story. Written by Gary Friedrich and illustrated by George Tuska and Marie Severin, with cover art by Marie Severin and Frank Giacoia, this 1970 Marvel tale blends eerie atmosphere with a twist that’s as surprising as it is playful.
In "The Moving Finger Writhes...!", Headstone P. Gravely introduces a chilling tale of fate and folly: a desperate man stumbles upon a strange book that eerily predicts his future, leading him to sudden wealth through horse race bets. But when the pages go blank at a construction site, his luck turns deadly—only for the book to find a new subject in a passing worker, who now holds the power to read his own fate.
In "The Terrible Old Man!", a group of desperate thieves—Angelo Ricci, Joe Czanek, Manuel Silva, and Amos—break into a decaying mansion seeking fortune, only to confront a reclusive old man whose eerie presence belies a chilling secret. What begins as a simple robbery spirals into a nightmare as the old man’s supernatural grip reveals a collection of stolen souls preserved in bottles, each one a testament to his grim legacy.
