Strange Tales #64

Marvel Comic Book: "The Secret Laboratory of Dr. Domino!" (07/01/58)

Dr. Domino was a clever con artist. Although he was actually 80 years old, he had been involved in a lab accident at the age of 21 which had apparently stopped/slowed his aging. Dr. Domino concocted a scheme to swindle wealthy, elderly women out of their money--he claimed he had developed a "youth serum" and had even used it on himself; since he was 80 years old (and all public records showed him to be such an age), he attributed his youthful appearance to the "youth serum" he created. Domino held a public demonstration "medicine show" where he had some elderly women step into a booth, close the curtain, take the "serum," then emerge, miraculously looking 40 years younger--in actuality, it was all just a part of his ploy and the old women (who were "in" on it) slipped out the back door of the booth and were replaced by younger, beautiful women wearing the same clothes. After collecting some money from his hopeful clients as a down-payment, Domino returned to his lab, where he was visited by an aged seeress. After demonstrating her magical powers to him, the crone told Domino that she had heard stories of his wonder potion and wanted some of it to restore her youth and beauty. Domino admitted to the seeress that his claims had all been a scam. Angered, the seeress placed a curse upon Domino then disappeared. When Domino awoke the next morning, he found his youthful appearance gone--his years had finally caught up with him. (AS/male adult to old age)
