"Unusual Tales", a series presenting Steve Ditko's comics from 1957 to 1959 that are in the public domain.
It's an amusing little story about an attempt to construct a bridge in India running into trouble from some local superstition. Ditko does a really good job with the characters, and there are a lot of really good visual tricks to make the story interesting. Definitely an above average story for work of this era.
