1st printing. Cover by Steve Ditko. Stories and art by Steve Ditko and Mark Evanier. Eclipse presents all of the Mysterious Traveler stories from the classic Charlton comic that feature art by Spider-Man co-creator Steve Ditko. Like many a trench-coated stranger in comics, the Traveler narrates tales from the outer twilight limits of imagination. A small-town Vermont doctor has near-death experience, in a Twilight Zone-ish story created two years before the TV show even began. A cautionary tale about television puts Homer Evriman at the center of a dangerous game show. A criminal discovers a magic mirror and decides to put it to sinister use, but doesn't reflect on the inevitable outcome. What Wilbur Saw; Escape; Test of a Man; The Desert; Operation Blacksnake; When Old Doc Died; Mister Evriman; The Old Fool; Little Girl Lost; Tomorrows Punishment; And the Fear Grew; The Heel and the Healer; The Man Who Saw Again; The Vision Came; The End of Edward; The Man Who Forgot; The Imperial Double; Inside the Crystal Globe. Softcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 104 Pages, B&W. Cover price $9.95.
