Strange Suspense Stories #6
In "The 2nd Age of Monsters," a 1969 Charlton classic, con man Murray Spence tries to sell a dubious machine that turns tens into fifties—right in the same room where the late magician and spiritualist Leon Frammis once lived. Written by Pat Boyette and Joe Gill and illustrated by Boyette, this eerie tale unfolds with a chilling twist as Frammis’s presence begins to manifest in unsettling ways. The cover, a striking collaboration by Mo Marcus, Don Perlin, and Vince Alascia, captures the story’s creeping dread with a haunting, otherworldly energy.
