Tales of the Unexpected #46

Feb 1960 · DC · 0.10 USD
“The Duplicate Doom!”

In "The Duplicate Doom!", a strange phenomenon splits a county in two, with identical mysteries unfolding on both sides—each met with a mysterious stranger asking how the townspeople would eliminate it. The answers, surprisingly, come true in ways both baffling and bizarre. Bernard Baily handles both pencils and inks for the eerie, twist-driven tale, while Dick Dillin and Sheldon Moldoff bring the unsettling cover to life. A 10-cent comic from 1960, this issue stands out for its clever, surreal premise and early exploration of alien trickery.
