Unusual Tales #17

This July 1959 Charlton anthology from Dick Giordano and Jon D'Agostino delivers a genuinely unsettling split cover: on the left, a pale, silver-haired woman wreathed in flames stares out with cool intensity beneath the question "Was She Witch or Woman?"; on the right, a terrified man in a lab coat recoils from a swirling vortex tied to the tantalizing tease of "Doctor Carlin's Strange Invention." Inside, Joe Gill and Bill Molno bring the lead tale "Remembered Moment!" to life alongside a packed lineup that includes "Portrait of Ravanna," "The Amazing Escape," and the oddly compelling "The Talking Dog." For fans of mid-century mystery and fantasy anthologies, this ten-cent Charlton gem is a genuine time capsule of imaginative, chills-and-wonder storytelling.
