Strange Suspense Stories #4
"Curiosity Killed the Ghost" introduces a chilling twist on the magician’s act in Strange Suspense Stories #4, a 1952 Fawcett gem. When stage magician Renaldo enters a coma through experimental suspended animation, his assistant Jason faces a dangerous temptation—keeping him that way and stepping into the spotlight. Art by Sheldon Moldoff and lettering by Charlotte Jetter bring the eerie tension to life, while George Evans’ cover captures the unsettling mood with sharp, dramatic inks.
