"Unusual Tales", a series presenting Steve Ditko's comics from 1957 to 1959 that are in the public domain.
"The Sultan" is a 5-page story from Charlton's TALES OF THE MYSTERIOUS TRAVELER #5 [1957]. where the Traveler regales us with a tale of the leader of a nation is driven by his greed and paranoia out to the desert. Ditko does a great job with the exotic setting and clothing here, and there's a lot of atmosphere in the artwork. As usual, the highlights are the giant floating heads of the Traveler in the backgrounds.
