Shocking Mystery Cases #50 This issue is an anthology containing at least two stories. The cover story, "Dead Man's Revenge!!", involves a scientist who uses electrodes to stimulate a dead man's pituitary glands, causing the corpse to grow to monstrous proportions as part of an act of vengeance. Another story features Detective Holmes investigating a scheme at a sprawling castle hotel where wealthy guests are lured into investing money with criminals; Holmes becomes trapped in underground lime pits but ultimately exposes the criminal operation. The issue also includes advertisements and filler content typical of 1950s comic publications.
