Dark Mysteries #24
In "Give A Man Enough Rope," two small-time crooks, Sam and Shorty, find their scam with the miracle lotion "Growoo" unexpectedly backfiring in the most literal way possible. After selling their wares and vanishing into hiding, they return to discover the entire world has grown to colossal proportions—leaving them dwarfed and utterly out of place. Gerald Altman’s distinctive art brings this surreal twist to life in a 1955 tale that’s equal parts whimsy and unease.
