Written by Gardner Fox, penciled by Carmine Infantino, inked by Joe Giella, and edited by

We start this issue with a famous DC universe, side show man, a carnival barker, some would call him.

I would just call him a man who entertains children with amusement parks, a carnival barker, some would call him. I would just call him a man who

entertains children with amusement parks, a man by the name of Walter Dempsey. And he's

opening a fun land in Central City, something for all those orphan kids to go do. But like any good

craftsman, he likes to take a trip through the park to make sure everything works. And he's in the final ride.

He's in the tunnel of terrors. It's opening in one hour. He's cutting it close if there's problems.

So he's sitting in the car riding around, you know, going through the tunnels. Strange arms are

popping up. There's headless horsemen running around. Your standard tunnel of tears that you see

anywhere.

And it finally gets to the Peace de Resistance, the strange metallic object that's in the final room that is pulsating in different colors.

And as the different colors pulsate, different weirdies, as he calls them, pops up.

So it's constantly scaring them.

And then it's getting right to the climax, right as the car is running towards a mirror.

So, obviously, any child's greatest fears is to collide with himself, as if he's not used to

the concept of mirrors.

I think all this creatures are scarier than the mirror image.

Well, as he's heading towards his own mirror image on this cart,

something strange starts happening.
