Dick Ayers art reminds me of Steve Ditko – those flattened features and full-face panels. I like it but the best work IMO comes from Angelo Torres on When Your Number’s Up. Best story was The Crystal – very prescient – how many of us have known kids so lost in a video game, they forget to eat.
Two con artists have been scamming people with a fake swami routine. One begins to get paranoid that his partner is going to tell the cops what he knows.
