Tales to Astonish Vol 1 11 001
A writer takes his family to Bayou country to begin work on a new novel, but his son encounters a monster in the swamp. The monster is distracted when an alligator bites his leg, so the father and son flee while the monster finishes off the gator. The man drives into town to warn the sheriff, but is scoffed at, until a neighbor backs up his story. When the monster arrives, they find their weapons ineffective, but the creature shies away from fire, and so they drive it back to the quicksand bog in the swamp. Unknown to everyone involved, the creature meant no harm, and was merely seeking aid to repair his damaged spacecraft sunk under the bog.

He succeeds in building the machine despite his colleagues' entreaties to give up what they perceive as madness as he will only end up disintegrating himself by attempting to travel into what does not yet exist. When he steps out of the machine, he assumes that his colleagues were correct and that he has failed and merely traveled far into the distant past because everything is desolate.

An artist named Markas wants to create a mask so inspiring that it will make his name his famous once more. He looks for inspiration in a book about an ugly sorcerer named Drothor who cursed anyone that referred to the features of his face. He completes the mask and deems it his masterpiece and hatches a scheme to commit robbery while wearing the mask since it is so lifelike no one will suspect that it is merely a mask. He empties a safe, but police pursue him into his hideout, though he is not worried as he can simply remove the mask and be safe. But the curse has struck once again, for Markas finds to his horror that after removing the mask, his own face come to appear exactly as Drothor's.
