In Suspense #263, “The Visitor,” a teenage counterman named Bud is approached by a stranger who insists he’s a long-lost son from a wealthy town—and the resemblance is uncanny. When Bud agrees to play along, he finds himself welcomed back by a grieving mother, showered with affection, and even offered a fortune. But this small-town paradise hides a dangerous undercurrent. As suspicion brews and secrets unravel, Bud must figure out who’s fooling whom—and whether this second chance at life comes with a deadly cost. A masterfully layered identity thriller filled with deception, gaslighting, and an explosive confrontation.
