Tomb of Darkness #22

In "I Created Grutan!", a bitter scientist named Albert Poole becomes consumed by his obsession to build a colossal robot—Grutan—intended to be his eternal vessel. Trapped inside the machine he designed, with no way to activate it, he must survive on the provisions he stored, slowly succumbing to isolation and desperation.

In "Brother of a Monster," two brothers—one handsome, one deformed—find themselves at the center of a series of gruesome murders in a quiet town. While the townsfolk quickly point fingers at the disfigured brother, the truth behind the killings runs far deeper than appearances suggest.

In "The Madman's Music," a clarinet player haunted by a recent injury discovers his playing has taken on a haunting new power—his music can now only be heard by the dead. When his agent claims he hears nothing, the musician realizes his gift is both a curse and a connection to something beyond the living.

In "They Made Me a Ghost!", a condemned man strikes a desperate bargain with Satan, trading his soul for the power to haunt the judge who sentenced him. As a ghost, he discovers his new form grants him no real influence over the living world—only the cold, endless drift of space, where he is carried away by the wind, lost forever.
