Vault of Evil #15

Nov 1974 · Marvel · 0.25 USD
“Don't Shake Hands with the Devil!”

In "Don't Shake Hands with the Devil!", a man with hay fever accidentally unleashes a hostile genie from a lamp—only for the genie to immediately fall victim to the same allergic affliction. Stranded in a world teeming with pollen and germs, the once-conquering entity discovers his time in the lamp may have been safer than he thought. Steve Ditko handles both art and inks for this quirky, germ-filled tale, with lettering by Artie Simek, while the cover by Larry Lieber and Frank Giacoia captures the absurd tension of the moment.
