Marvel Tales #4

In "I Live in Fear," a reporter’s curiosity leads him to test a scientist’s invisibility ray—only to realize too late that the experiment has exposed him to something far more unsettling than mere invisibility. As shadowy, non-human forms begin stalking him, he’s gripped by a terror that refuses to fade, even after the ray’s effects wear off. Though the scientist dismisses the sightings as a side effect of the device, the reporter can’t shake the feeling that something unseen and dangerous is still out there.

In "The Stranger's Suitcase!", a man from the fourth dimension finds himself stranded in our world, desperate to return home. With time running short, he strikes a bizarre deal with an amusement park owner: if the man can afford a roller coaster fast enough to breach the dimensional barrier, he’ll get his way back.

In "The Mystery of the Black Box!", a thief stumbles upon a strange artifact that opens a portal to the year 1791. When he tests it by tossing a handgun into the box, the gun reappears in the past—only to be returned to the present in a shocking twist that unravels his crime.

In "The Black Raven," a man driven by greed sets out for Africa after hearing a tale of a wooden idol linked to a priceless gem. As he ventures deeper into the wilderness, the local people's fear of the black raven grows, and his companions begin to vanish one by one, leaving him alone in the wild. Trapped between a deadly lion and a snake pit, he makes a desperate choice that unravels the idol’s secret—but not before the true cost of his ambition becomes clear.
