Uncanny Tales #143

In "The Repair Shop!", a solitary repairman named Sloane is given a strange second chance when a mysterious visitor hands him a set of broken figurines—each a shattered echo of himself at different moments in his past. As he begins to mend them, the lines between memory and reality blur, and the quiet shop becomes a place where lost time might just be restored.

In "Unknown Atoll!" from Uncanny Tales #143, William Brent, a sailor adrift after his ship is torpedoed during World War 2, washes ashore on a strange atoll that seems to reverse time, restoring him to youth and vigor. Though rescued years later, he spends the rest of his life haunted by the island’s impossible gift, chasing a memory that defies reason.

Bruce Payne searches for a wallet he once found—its strange power to produce endless single dollar bills now lost to him after it was stolen and discarded. As he retraces his steps through the city, the memory of its magic lingers, but the trail leads only to Mr. White, a mugger, and a passing policeman, each a fleeting shadow in a mystery that defies reason.
