Uncanny Tales #29
In "Only One to a Customer," a tense moment unfolds when a woman tries to steal a historical sword from a farmer who unearthed it, only to be confronted by a silent, grinning stranger she assumes is a rival collector. Her guilt overwhelms her, leading her to confess her crime to a passing police car—only to learn afterward that the man was just a French tourist who didn’t understand a word of English. Joe Sinnott handles both art and inks for the interior, while Ray Holloway provides the lettering; Carl Burgos delivers the cover.

A woman attempts to steal a sword that used to belong to Benedict Arnold from a farmer who dug it up on his property, but when she is confronted by a silent, grinning stranger whom she takes to be a rival collector, her shame gets the better of her and she confesses her theft to a passing police car rather than be turned over to the police by the man. After the police lead her away, the man is revealed to be a French tourist seeking directions who knows no English.
