Strange Tales #2
In "The Egg!", a scientist's mysterious box—capable of teleporting a person's spirit—becomes the centerpiece of a chilling game of deception and dread. When a friend borrows it to stage an alibi for a murder, the tables turn in a way no one could have predicted. Norman Steinberg handles both pencils and inks for the interior art, while Sol Brodsky delivers the eerie cover. A 10-cent comic from 1951, this issue stands as a gripping early example of suspenseful sci-fi storytelling.
