Journey into Mystery #8

In the shadowed halls of a remote European inn, an elderly couple's quiet life hides a dark secret: they murder their guests to send money to their son across the sea. When their final visitor arrives—unrecognized, unannounced—their routine turns to dread, and the past they’ve buried begins to stir.

In "The Man Who Was Nobody," a Martian sleeper agent—incarcerated in an asylum for lacking proof of existence—faces termination when his usefulness ends. Stripped of identity and trapped in a human world that refuses to acknowledge him, he becomes a ghost in a system built on paper trails and official records.
