Web of Evil #8 (1953)

In "Creature of Doom," nuclear scientist Paul Allen is abandoned and presumed dead after a bomb test, only to return as a spectral figure haunted by the betrayal of his colleague Serb and the theft of his wife Gena. Left to witness their treachery from beyond, Allen musters the will to reclaim his shattered body and rise as a nuclear-powered avenger.

In "Flaming Vengeance," greedy landlord Cal Arnum sets fire to his own tenement to collect insurance, indifferent to the lives lost. After faking his death with a drug, he is cremated—instead of being laid to rest in the family tomb—setting the stage for a haunting reckoning.

In "Death Prowls the Streets," retired detective Emmett Dru returns for one final case as a killer stalks the city in shadow. When he tracks the murderer to a hidden lair, Dru faces a threat that tests his wits and courage one last time.

Jo and her boyfriend take a risky shortcut through Perdition Valley after spotting it on a road map near a car crash site — the wreckage of a known racketeer. What they don’t know is that the valley isn’t just a forgotten stretch of road, but a hidden town where the damned dead linger, unseen by the living.
