Unusual Tales #16

From Charlton's mystery anthology line, this May 1959 issue poses a tantalizing question right on its cover: "Can a Man Make Himself Disappear? Bordoni Could!" Cover artists Charles Nicholas and Vince Alascia stage the scene vividly — a wide-eyed, alarmed man recoils as a cloaked, spectral figure dissolves before him amid swirling flames, the speech bubble exclaiming "He's Disappearing!" The featured story, "The Great Bordoni," written by Joe Gill with art by Bill Molno and inks by Vince Alascia, promises the kind of eerie, imaginative storytelling that made Charlton's anthology titles a reliable ten-cent thrill in 1959.
