House of Mystery #85

In "Earth's Strangest Salesman," a seemingly ordinary door-to-door salesman stumbles into a bizarre mission when he’s revealed to be an unwitting agent of an alien scheme. When a skeptical man finally kicks him out, the salesman’s mind clears—and with sudden clarity, he remembers the truth behind his strange sales pitch.

In "The Man with the Double Destiny," Mr. Clyde finds himself caught in a deadly game when he’s hired to guide the fugitive Verrill through the Peruvian jungle—only to learn too late that Verrill has bound their fates with a witch doctor’s curse. Now, whatever befalls Verrill will befall Clyde, and the jungle itself seems to know the truth.

In the eerie isolation of Giant Island, a scientific expedition stumbles upon towering stone statues eerily reminiscent of those on Easter Island. When one of the statues awakens, the team must decipher an ancient tablet to uncover the truth behind the sentries—guardians of a buried alien base—before the island's fate claims them all.
