Mysterious Adventures #23

1954-12-01 · 36 pages

In "The Man Who Beat the Devil," a desperate man strikes a bargain with the Devil, trading his soul for wealth—on the condition he can only die by drowning. Twenty years later, the Devil arrives to claim him, but the man believes he’s outsmarted fate by fleeing to Death Valley, the driest place on Earth. Cover by Ross Andru and Mike Esposito, this 1954 tale from Mysterious Adventures #23 delivers a chilling twist rooted in an ancient legend, where even the most clever escape can be undone by a single, fateful act.
