World of Fantasy #11
"Prisoner of the Fantastic Fog" delivers a haunting, dreamlike tale from the early days of Marvel’s World of Fantasy, where a mysterious dream seeks its rightful dreamer before midnight—only to find its intended host is already dead, a convict who, in desperation, tried to flee his cell by scaling a prison wall. Penciled and inked by Jim Mooney, the story unfolds with eerie precision, blending surreal imagery with a quiet tragedy. The cover, a striking collaboration by Bill Everett and Joe Maneely, captures the fog-laden tension with dramatic flair.

A dream searches for the correct dreamer before midnight, but after trying a couple of sleepers realizes it has made a mistake and dissolves. The man who was supposed to have a dream about falling from a great height was a convict attempting a prison break. Since he had no warning, he attempted to scale the high wall and fell to his death.
