The Madman!

Job # B-688
Pages 7
Type art
Notes: Unsigned, but the subject matter, the Shakespeare opening, the use of `thru' instead of `through', the length of the story suggest it could be a Stan Lee story. The job number is iffey, though. B-685/6 and 7 are all Al Jaffee stories. B-689/90/91/92 and 93 are all still missing, but B-694 is a signed Stan Lee story: B-694 Adventures Into Terror #16 My Name Is Death!
