Uncanny Tales #12

In "Buried Alive!" from Uncanny Tales #12 (1975), a young man's life is cut short in a mine owned by his father—a man whose ruthless choices have long strained their relationship. Trapped beneath the earth after a collapse, the son faces not just the terror of confinement, but the weight of a father’s neglect and the cost of a legacy built on greed.

In the year 2050, prisoner Karl Kargon learns of a time machine’s invention and escapes custody to erase the sole witness to his crime—only to find himself unable to touch or harm the man, his body intangible as a ghost in the past.
