“Don't Try to Outsmart the Devil!”

In "Don't Try to Outsmart the Devil!", a woman stranded by a broken-down car stumbles into a haunted house where women have vanished—only to be met by a mysterious, bundled figure she assumes is the killer. When a second man bursts in, the truth unfolds in a chilling twist: the stranger had been posing as the killer to lure and destroy him, avenging his wife’s murder. With moody art by Don Perlin and inks by Abe Simon, and a haunting cover by Bill Everett, this 1952 tale of suspense and deception delivers a classic horror punch in a 10-cent comic.

A woman's car breaks down in an area where women have been strangled and she takes shelter in a nearby house. She is admitted by a bundled figure that she abruptly assumes is the strangler. She screams, and another man breaks in the door, but the new man on the scene is actually the stranger. The bundled person tosses aside his disguise and kills the strangler, apologizes to the woman for frightening her, and explains that the strangler had murdered his wife and so he had disguised himself as bait.
