In "The Man Who Bribed Death," newspaper correspondent Robert Avery, facing a terminal heart condition, makes a chilling pact with Death itself—killing others before their time to extend his own. With the grim bargain in motion, Avery journeys to perilous places like war-torn Korea and Red China, where life is fleeting and death is constant. His final attempt to escape a plague-ridden city in a coffin may be the one gamble that finally costs him everything. Art by A. C. Hollingsworth, with cover by the same, this 1952 Avon classic delivers a haunting tale of desperation and consequence.
