Uncanny Tales #19
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"In the Beginning!" kicks off with a haunting twist on the Old West, as two uranium prospectors survive a terrifying stampede—only to learn the buffalo weren’t just animals, but the vengeful spirits of a slaughtered herd from a century past. Written by Richard E. Hughes and illustrated by Pete Costanza, with inks by Sheldon Moldoff, this eerie tale blends frontier grit with supernatural mystery. The cover, a striking double-draw by Ogden Whitney, captures the moment the past erupts into the present.
In "Unknown Journey!", Greg Baker and Stan Winters find themselves caught in a cosmic twist when aliens whisk them back through time, setting off a high-stakes race against the clock to stop an invasion—before they’re stranded in the past forever. With only their wits and a daring plan, they must outmaneuver alien forces and find a way home.
In "The Terrible Toy!", a young boy’s lost toy becomes an unexpected bridge between worlds when an alien father arrives on Earth, searching for it. Amid fears of invasion, the humans slowly come to see the quiet longing behind the alien’s quest, discovering that empathy can grow even in the most unlikely places.
Steve and a fellow prospector survive a terrifying run-in with a spectral herd of buffalo in a remote canyon—unscathed, but shaken. When an old-timer from the nearby town explains the apparition as the restless spirits of a hundred-year-old massacre, the truth behind the stampede begins to stir.
