Web of Mystery #25
In "The Man Who Died Tomorrow," young Henry Ranse, desperate for money after a life of reckless spending, takes a terrifying gamble that crosses the line into madness. Locked away in an asylum, his uncle’s hands—still bound in a strait-jacket—strangle Ranse in a moment that defies logic. Sy Grudko handles both art and inks for the chilling interior, while Jim McLaughlin delivers the unsettling cover. A 10-cent mystery from 1954, this issue lingers long after the final page.
