☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Wheels of Doom!", a desperate man turns to black magic to impersonate the police chief imprisoning his son, blurring the line between deception and destiny. Written by Carl Wessler and illustrated by Robert Q. Sale, this 1957 tale of mistaken identity and supernatural trickery unfolds with chilling precision. The cover, by Bill Everett, captures the tension in a single, stark image.
In a remote Central American jungle, a man attempts to seize control of a plantation by pretending to be a divine figure to the native workers—only to discover the previous owner had already beaten him to the deception. The story unfolds with a tense, simmering dread as ambition collides with a secret that’s already been enacted.
In a desperate bid to save his son from prison, a man turns to black magic to impersonate the very police chief who holds his child captive. When the real chief uncovers the deception, he orders the impostor executed—only for the guards to believe they’re killing the fugitive, not the man they’ve been serving.
In "The Hidden Hex!" from World of Fantasy #7 (1957), a farmer stubbornly refuses to let hex symbols be painted on his land, convinced they bring bad luck—until his hired hand takes matters into his own hands, carving a protective symbol into the fields to ward off the growing misfortunes.
