Tomb of Darkness #16

When a fugitive takes refuge on Easter Island, he stumbles upon an ancient scroll that awakens the island’s mysterious stone heads—only to discover they’re not statues at all, but alien guardians with a terrifying purpose. As the stone heads come to life, they take Harry Dawes captive, whisking him away on a journey far beyond Earth.

In "The Last of Mr. Mordeaux," a man travels to the old country in search of proof of his noble lineage, only to uncover a grim truth: his family, long believed to be sorcerers, were driven into the underground warrens beneath their ancestral castle by the very peasants they once ruled. There, he finds a decaying remnant of a cursed bloodline, twisted by time and isolation.

In "We Can't All Be Human!" from Tomb of Darkness #16 (1975), a young philosophy student named Henry Mathews begins to question the true nature of the alien refugees claiming to seek sanctuary from space pirates—especially when their kindness feels just a little too calculated. As he pieces together unsettling clues, Henry realizes the visitors may not be the victims they claim to be, and the line between ally and enemy blurs in ways no one expected.
