In "The Last Man on Earth," a 1952 Harvey Comics standout, peasant Aldo Von Carl strikes a fateful bargain with the Devil—wishing for eternal life, only to find his immortal curse twisted into a terrible existence. Artist Vic Donahue brings the haunting tale to life with stark, expressive visuals, while Al Avison's cover captures the eerie essence of a headless wanderer in a world that has forgotten him.

In "Trick the Devil," Aldo Von Carl of Brunswold makes a fateful bargain with the Devil, hoping to outwit him by wishing for eternal life—only to find his victory hollow when he’s beheaded and condemned to wander as a headless body, severed from sight, sound, and taste. The story’s eerie, grounded dread lingers in every step Aldo takes through a world he can no longer perceive, a haunting tale of cunning and consequence.
