But when he ventures into the caves himself, he quickly learns the stories might be true—especially when the wailing echoes begin.

In "The Secret of the Mountain Top!" from World of Fantasy #1 (1956), a hidden community beneath the earth orchestrates a mysterious rise of their mountain to draw climbers to their valley. Through quiet observation and unexpected interviews, the underground dwellers study the visitors before returning the peak to its subterranean resting place.

In a world where the sun has dimmed, Apollo wanders the quiet streets, searching for a spark to light his lantern—no one will part with a match, not even for a price. Then, a boy scout with a quiet determination offers a different kind of fire, one born from friction and patience.
