Uncanny Tales #187
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Farley's Other Face!", a man stumbles upon a mysterious metal that defies physics—cutting it in two leaves the pieces mysteriously linked across empty space. Written by Carl Wessler and brought to life with sharp, dynamic art by John Forte (pencils and inks), this 1988 tale from Alan Class follows his bizarre magic act, where objects vanish through one hoop only to appear through another. When a curious audience member uncovers the truth, the act takes a dark turn, leading to a twist that traps the thief in a cage of his own making—sealed behind a hoop that won’t let him escape. The story’s eerie, surreal tone is perfectly captured in Steve Ditko’s striking cover, a classic in the artist’s signature style.

A man discovers a metal that when cut in two remains connected even though it appears that there is empty space between the parts. He starts a magic act where anything he tosses through one hoop pops out the other. An audience member discovers his secret and forces him into criminal acts. When the thief forces the man to construct a crate to hold the loot, he places the hoop inside the crate and breaks down the door he was imprisoned behind. He confronts the thief who attempts to escape through his hoop but finds himself inside the sealed crate on the way to the penitentiary.
