☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Phantom Express" kicks off with Vance Jackson, a man on the edge, stealing from his own firm and fleeing—only to be confronted by a colleague with a shocking confession. The tension escalates in a moment of violence that leaves Vance questioning reality, only to wake from a nightmare with a chilling message waiting in the safe he just returned the money to. Art by the Iger Shop brings a stark, noir-inspired look to this eerie tale of guilt and consequence, all in a 10-cent comic from 1957.
In "Phantom Express," Vance Jackson’s desperate bid to escape with stolen money takes a sudden turn when his colleague Bill Porter confronts him with identical intentions. After a violent struggle ends in murder, Vance awakens to find it was all a dream—but the chilling note left in the safe suggests the nightmare might not be over.
In "The Bedeviled Vault!", a masked satyr strikes a bank in broad daylight, leaving behind only confusion and a trail of suspicion. Inspector Curan and his son Marty dive into the case, uncovering a twist as dark as the mask—the real bank director was never at the scene, and his twin brother has been playing a deadly game of deception.
In "When the Sea Goes Dry!" from Strange Journey #1 (1957), a treasure-hunting couple ventures into the unknown, chasing legends of sunken Spanish gold guarded by an ancient Aztec curse. Their guide, Pedro—a man of quiet demeanor and distant heritage—holds a secret that will transform the sea itself, as the true guardian of the treasure reveals a form beyond human.
