Mysterious Adventures #5
In "Ghouls Feast at Midnight," adventurer David Murstone survives a jungle crash only to be saved by the Jivaro goddess Konocry, who grants him immortality through the mysterious Pool of Eternity. Drawn by Lou Cameron, whose dynamic art brings the story’s eerie jungle setting to life, the tale follows their desperate flight as the tribe, horrified by Konocry’s defiance, pursues them with brutal intent. The haunting cover by Bill Fraccio captures the moment of dread, a 10-cent comic from 1951 that blends myth and menace in a timeless tale of eternal punishment.
