Amazing Stories of Suspense #95
In "Your Future in the Clouds!", a desperate man pitches a wild tale to Stan Lee about a blackmailer imprisoned in a mystic ruby, forced to guide souls after death—only to be dismissed as too bizarre even for *Tales of Suspense*. As he walks away, the man vanishes mid-sentence, leaving behind only the eerie certainty that his secret remains safe… or does it? Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with dynamic art by Jack Kirby and inks by Dick Ayers, this eerie story unfolds with a chilling twist that lingers long after the final panel. The cover, penciled by Kirby and inked by Ayers, captures the moment of uncanny dread.

A man tries to pitch to Stan Lee the story of a blackmailer who becomes trapped within a mystic ruby as an agent of Fate to direct recently departed souls to their destination. Stan rejects the story as too outlandish even for Tales of Suspense and the man leaves the office. Outside, the man mutters to himself that his secret is safe since even if the blackmailer escapes the ruby no one will believe him and then he blinks out of existence.
