In "The Tin Cup," sailor Joe Garcy ventures into South America chasing legend and gold, drawn to the ancient Inca practice of burying the dead with their treasures. Disguising himself as a slave during a funeral procession, he slips into a hidden burial vault—only to find himself trapped when the entrance seals shut, leaving him buried alive with the dead. Art by Ed Winiarski, with cover by Sol Brodsky, this 1952 tale delivers a chilling, suspenseful descent into a forgotten tomb.
