Mister Mystery #11

In "Beauty and the Beast!", a grotesque fashion designer named Van Shnapier constructs a robotic model named Mabel to showcase his creations—only to unleash chaos when a moment of rage damages her programming and sends her into a violent frenzy. Basil Wolverton’s wild, exaggerated art brings the story’s grotesque glamour to life, while Bernard Baily’s cover captures the tale’s twisted romance and mechanical menace in bold, dynamic lines.
