Vault of Evil #10
In "The Death of a Puppet!", a man with a revolutionary youth-restoring pill finds himself in danger when an aging actor threatens him for the formula. When the desperate man warns the actor not to take the pill—saying he’s only "half finished"—the actor ignores him, leading to a horrifying transformation that leaves his face split between youth and age. Joe Orlando’s art, inked by Jack Abel, brings the eerie, unsettling tone to life, while Bill Everett and John Romita’s cover captures the story’s chilling essence in vivid detail.

When a man develops pills that can take twenty years off one's age, an older actor threatens him with violence unless he hands them over. The man tells the actor not to take any of the pills because he is only "half finished," but the actor doesn't listen, and winds up with a face that is half aged and half young.
