In "The Man Who Wouldn't Stay Dead," a 1946 issue of Pep Comics, Professor Scott’s dangerous experiment with a resurrection serum leads to a chilling chain of events after he’s sentenced to the electric chair. Written and illustrated by Irv Novick, the story follows his desperate plan to return from the grave—only to find that death may not be the end, but the beginning of a darker fate. The cover, by Al Fagaly, captures the eerie tension of a man defying the grave, while the tale unfolds with a pulse of gothic suspense.
