- “There’ll Be Some Changes Made,” as by Carl Wessler and S. Ditko, Journey into Mystery #33 (Atlas Comics, April 1956).
Paul Haines spends his days stewing over the money his 18th-centery ancestor wasted, until he realizes that there’s a way he can get it. I found the story oddly disquieting in that Paul never really faced punishment for his crime and he got the girl too boot—definitely not the usual weird fiction pattern, although I’ll still tag it that way.
—Michael Main
