In "The Graveyard Waxworks," Bill Everett crafts a chilling tale where a deranged photographer’s enchanted camera and living film trap Venus in a flat, frozen world. When Whitney Hammond tracks her down, the fate of the two-dimensional heroine hangs in the balance. A striking, all-Bill Everett effort with haunting visuals and a pulse-pounding premise, this 1951 10-cent gem stands out in the series' eerie legacy.

Contains 4 stories
The Graveyard Waxworks
8 pp · Fantasy, Superhero

In "The Graveyard Waxworks," Venus confronts a sinister underground race that invades fresh corpses to infiltrate the living world. When the fiends begin their takeover, Venus uses her wits and courage to unmask their deception and turn their own weakness—sunlight—against them.

The Day That Venus Vanished

When photographer Jerome Lenz captures Venus with his enchanted camera, her reality unravels—leaving her trapped as a flat image on animated paper. As chaos spreads, Whitney Hammond steps in to unravel the mystery and restore the goddess to her full form.

Escape from Death
4 pp · Science Fiction

In "Escape from Death," space pirate Kallam Raa faces a grim choice: endure a life of forced labor or flee aboard a derelict ship carrying a crew of outcasts suffering from leprosy. With no allies and no clear path to freedom, his survival hinges on trusting those society has cast aside.

The Living Dolls
5 pp · Fantasy, Superhero
Professor Zorsky

Professor Zorsky’s carnival side show boasts "living dolls" whose lifelike stillness unsettles even the most skeptical. When Venus and Whitney Hammond arrive to investigate, the illusion begins to blur—leaving them wary of the man behind the act and the eerie presence of his performers.
