Marvel Tales #2

In "The Lost Million!", a chance purchase of a newsboy’s last paper leads Harry into a surreal twist of fate when he discovers it contains tomorrow’s headlines—revealing that Mrs. Lane will take her own life. Acting on the warning, he intervenes just in time, only to find the paper’s story has shifted: now, she’s awarded him a million dollars for saving her life. As Harry searches for the mysterious newsboy, he begins to suspect the truth lies in a haunting connection between the paper, Mrs. Lane, and her late husband, Walter.

In "I Walk Through Glass!", a young man named Oliver stumbles upon a mirror that reveals a parallel world where his life took a different, more affluent path. Drawn by the sight of a wealthy version of himself and his family, Oliver crosses over, steals from them, and shatters the mirror to escape—only to find that the money he took has vanished, leaving him with nothing but the unsettling truth of what he’s done.

In "Forbidden Fruit!", a young man named Lu Fang stumbles upon a hidden realm where pomegranates promise 500 years of life. After tossing one over a wall to claim it later, he discovers too late that it landed in a grove of identical trees—now spending decades searching through endless fruit, hoping to find the one that could change everything.

In "Man in a Trance!", a man named Price attempts to use yoga mysticism to alter his past and avoid prison, only to find himself trapped in a deeper, more unsettling reality—where the sentence he thought he’d served was far longer than he remembered.

In "When I Close My Eyes...", a man haunted by dreams of confessing his crimes to the police finds himself stranded in a place where nights stretch on for six months—each one deepening the mystery of his past and the weight he can't escape.

In "The Saucer That Couldn't Fly!", Arnie and his gang pull a fast one on Vincent, pretending to be wealthy Martian investors looking to fund a grand project—only to find out the aliens are real, and their offer is far too tempting to pass up. When the Martians whisk Vincent away with their ship, they leave behind only a crumpled cheque, now useless in their eyes.
