“Oh, Perfect Crime!”

In "Oh, Perfect Crime!", a greedy businessman’s obsession with eternal life leads him to steal a mysterious device from a wary scientist—one that promises a 1,000-year lifespan like a giant redwood. Ignoring the warnings, he activates the ray in his mansion, only to find himself frozen in place, as immobile as the very tree he sought to emulate. Don Heck handles both art and inks for the story, while Joe Maneely delivers the striking cover.

A greedy businessman bullies a scientist into giving him a device that can give humans the 1,000-year lifespan of a giant redwood. He ignores the scientist's warnings and uses the ray on himself alone in his mansion, finding to his horror that the ray also renders its subject as immobile as a redwood.
