In "The Old Hex House," a mysterious letter arrives at the doorstep of a forgotten estate, setting off a chain of unsettling events that linger just beyond the edge of reason. Written in a style both vintage and deliberate, the story unfolds with a quiet dread, leaving readers eager for the next chapter—though Wonder Man himself remains absent, promising a return in "bigger and better adventures." The cover, a striking piece by Lou Fine in both pencils and inks, captures the eerie atmosphere with haunting precision.

When Don Quixote mistakes a speeding automobile for a dragon and charges to the rescue, his misguided heroics unexpectedly help a police officer apprehend the criminal Butch Spumoni.
