Strange Mysteries #15
Strange Mysteries #15 is an anthology containing three stories. "Don't Box Me In!" features Dr. Martin Peale, an avid student of the past who discovers a moving ancient Egyptian statue—a discovery described as "the discovery of the century"—that comes to life and escapes. "Shadow Over Manton Farm" concerns a decaying farmhouse in Maine with a sinister reputation for being haunted, where two men quarrel over ill-gotten gains within its walls. "Don't Box Me In!" concludes with Dr. Peale leading an expedition into the Arizona desert, where his team discovers an ancient carving of a lost race at least 10,000 years old that resembles the Indian god Mogum, which they carefully preserve for museums.
