Unusual Tales #37
"Inner Sight" in Unusual Tales #37 (1963) delivers a haunting tale of myth and mistrust, set during the Depression, as a young graduate journeys to South America for work. There, he finds himself entangled with a local miner known to his coworkers as El Diablo—feared and shunned, yet secretly safeguarding a sacred treasure tied to his people's cursed past. The story unfolds with quiet dread, drawn in moody detail by Charles Nicholas and Vince Alascia on the cover, while the typeset lettering adds to the period's distinctive tone.
