Haunted Horror #17
In "Escape to Death!", a desperate convict uses the grim routine of preparing corpses for burial as his chance to break free—hiding in a coffin bound for a cemetery, only to find himself switched with the body meant for the crematorium. With the fate of his escape hanging on a single misplaced name tag, every second becomes a race against the flames. Illustrated by Jon D'Agostino and featuring a cover by L. B. Cole, this chilling tale from IDW's Haunted Horror series delivers a pulse-pounding twist on the classic prison escape.

A convict who has a job preparing executed criminals for burial at the prison hatches a plan to escape. He finds out that there are two bodies that will be shipped out. One to a cemetery and one to a crematorium. He hides in the coffin with the corpse that is supposed to be shipped to the cemetery with plans of escaping once the coffin reaches it's destination. Unfortunately for him, the name tags on the coffins get switched and the coffin he's hiding in gets sent to the crematorium instead!
