The owner of a traveling carousel has a magic flute with Pied Piper-like powers, in a story with early art by EC legend Bernie Krigstein. Dead supervillain Karnok overpowers Charon, ferryman of the dead, and takes the wheel of the ferry on the Styx. Plus a "Culture Corner" strip by legendary cartoonist Basil Wolverton, featuring useless but hilarious advice on "How to Double Your Bubble Gum Bubble."
