- Comic book artist Gil Kane feels wasted in the comic books he's drawing and tries to gain some privacy by going to the House of Mystery where he plans to write his own stories. There, however, his editor Joe Orlando scolds him until Gil Kane finally kills him. The editor and writer however exact their vengeance by drawing Gil Kane into his own artwork which is then framed by Abel on the walls of the House of Mystery.
