In "Am I Man or Machine?", timid Luther finds himself caught between longing and desperation when he stumbles upon a book of black magic in the library, hoping to win the affection of Miss Dennis. After a failed attempt with a love potion—mixed in tea, no less—he discovers the recipe's dire warning, just as a terrifying, clawed hand reaches for his throat. Written by Harry Harrison and brought to life with sharp, expressive art by Wally Wood, this eerie tale blends whimsy and dread in a story that lingers long after the final page. The cover, a chilling collaboration by Al Feldstein, perfectly captures the moment’s dread.
