Synopsis
Dawson suffers from brittle bone syndrome, but Dr. Doyle invents "muiclac" to cure him. He discovers this makes him "elastic" and murders Doyle to keep his secret. However, Dawson's face becomes permanently twisted and he goes to scientist Harrell, who has a formula to restore him to normal. Dawson kills Harrell before he learns the proper dosage. When the police arrive to arrest Dawson, he's just a puddle on the floor.
Notes
This was Ditko's first sale to a publisher, although not his first published work. The Eerie Publications reprint, which is the likely source of this version, uses the same artwork with greyscale colouring added.
