In "Monster in the Morgue!", Sandman and Sandy confront a chilling scientific experiment gone awry when a reclusive inventor unleashes a machine capable of awakening dormant brain cells—tripling a person's mental capacity, but at a terrifying cost. Written and illustrated by Jack Kirby, with inks by Joe Simon and lettering by Howard Ferguson, this 1972 DC classic blends mind-bending science with supernatural dread. The cover, penciled by Kirby and inked by Mike Royer, captures the eerie tension of the moment.
