"Satan and Sammy Snodgrass" by Stan Lee and Paul Reinman - The Devil wants to claim the soul of a man who never refuses to take a bet so he offers to grant the man a wish, since anyone who makes a Devil's pact forfeits their soul. He makes a bet with the man that he won't let the Devil grant him a wish. Satan thinks he wins either way. The man agrees to let him grant him a wish. The Devil is overjoyed as he thinks he's won. The man wishes that the Devil never claim his soul. Plus: "The Drop of Blood" with story by Carl Wessler and pencils by Dick Ayers - A man stabs to death another man and gets a spot of blood on his shoulder when he carries the body out to a field to bury it. He tries soap and water and even kerosene but the stain won't come off his skin. He buys a nostrum from a carnival snake oil salesman who promises that it "will restore the flesh" and when he uses it, it removes the blood stain, but regenerates the body of the murder victim who then strangles him. Also in this issue: "They Live Alone!" with art by Manny Stallman - Two old ladies feed investigating welfare bureau agents to their pet rats; 2-page text story "The Night Horror"; and "While the City Sleeps" by Stan Lee and Russ Heath - Martians infiltrate Earth by landing in cemeteries and burrowing into graves in order to wear the bodies of dead humans as a disguise. 32 pages, full color.
