Unusual Tales - Second Hand
"Unusual Tales", a series presenting Steve Ditko's comics from 1957 to 1959 that are in the public domain.
"Second Hand" is a 5-page story from Charlton's MYSTERIES OF UNEXPLORED WORLDS #7 [1958].
Strange little story about people vanishing and and then returning acting somewhat different, and the conspiracy theories that arise from that. Very odd ending. Ditko's art is pretty good, especially some of the close-up faces. I really like that reporter on page 2 panel 4.
But before the story, some links:
