☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"In the Shadow of Tragg" delivers a chilling tale of deception and theatrical dread in Where Monsters Dwell #33, a 1975 Marvel gem. Written and illustrated with sharp, moody precision by Ogden Whitney, the story follows a desperate actor who manipulates a fellow performer into a terrifying role—only to find himself the victim of the very performance he orchestrated. The cover, a striking piece by Gil Kane and Al Milgrom, captures the creeping unease of the tale.
Reporter David Arnstead dives into the eerie mystery of a sealed New York City subway line, only to uncover the terrifying presence of Tragg—a monstrous entity lurking beneath the city’s streets, drawn to human life with deadly intent.
In "Backstage Madness!", a seasoned actor manipulates a younger performer into taking on a terrifying horror role—knowing full well how deeply the man immerses himself in his characters. But when the lines between performance and reality begin to blur, the scheme takes a deadly turn, leaving the mastermind trapped in his own twisted game.
In "The Man Who Meddled!", a scientist’s experiment to accelerate mouse lifespans spirals into a personal tragedy when he and his newborn son are caught in the unintended fallout—his son dies just weeks after birth, aged to death, and the researcher begins aging at an alarming rate. The story explores the crushing weight of unintended consequences, as one man confronts the irreversible toll of his own ambition.
