In "Death Is a Mountain!", a disgruntled inventor abandons his diamond-converting machine after a failed test—only to set it into motion with a frustrated kick. The device, now running on its own, transforms the landlady’s rocky property into a fortune, leaving her desperate to find the man who started it all. With art by Bob Bean and a striking cover by Ron Wilson and Frank Giacoia, this 1976 Marvel tale blends quirky sci-fi with a touch of melancholy, all for just 30 cents.
