Unusual Tales #47
In "The Plan," a forgotten gold statuette forged by the ancient King Babaru holds a dangerous secret: three wishes, and a fourth that leads straight to inferno. When a homeless man stumbles upon the artifact in the present day, his desperate hopes quickly spiral beyond control. Written by Joe Gill and illustrated by Bill Montes with inks by Ernie Bache, this 1964 Charlton tale unfolds with a quiet dread, built on a single, ancient rule. The cover, by Dick Giordano, captures the weight of that fateful choice.

Long ago, King Babaru created a gold statuette that would grant its owner three wishes, but a fourth wish -- a wish of greed -- would send the wisher to the inferno. In the present, a homeless man finds the statuette and makes one too many wishes.
