Tales of the Mysterious Traveler #8
In "The Day of the Angels!", a hauntingly tender tale from 1958, a blind orphan named Susi finds solace in her imaginary friend Grulla in the remote Bavarian Alps. When Grulla suddenly becomes real and departs with a cryptic promise, a mysterious couple arrives at the orphanage—claiming Susi as their own, and revealing a name that echoes her only companion’s. Written by Joe Gill and illustrated with eerie precision by Steve Ditko, this haunting story blends quiet wonder with a touch of the uncanny, all framed by Rocco "Rocke" Mastroserio’s evocative cover.
