Weird Mysteries #12
In "The Castle of Fear," a scientist's accidental invention shrinks his assistant, Jonah, to less than an inch tall—only to discover too late that Jonah was hiding on his sandwich. Trapped inside the scientist's mouth, Jonah fights to survive, using a laser to fend off the dentist’s probing tools while the scientist searches for the cause of his toothache. With a sudden reversal of the shrinking ray, Jonah’s tiny ordeal reaches a shocking climax. Art by Tony Mortellaro, with cover by Bernard Baily, this 1954 issue delivers a delightfully absurd tale of scale, suspense, and one very unlucky sandwich.
