House of Mystery 1951 #212 - 8.5 - $24.00

Warren thinks he'll easily get control of his girlfriend's inheritance once her father dies, but the tables are turned when he learns that she is a vampire.

Little wheelchair-bound Richard is left by his parents at a strange summer camp. After one of the kids apparently drowns in a lake, the others begin murdering, one by one, the counselors, thinking they are aliens out to conquer the earth. Richard then tells this to the head counselor, but the other kids find out and want to kill him. As Richard flees he finds out that the counselors really were aliens, who then escape into outer space carrying away the entire camp to an unknown faraway destination.

A criminal is shot by the police and awakens on a train full of dead people. Knowing that the final destination of the train must be hell, he demands to return to Earth, which he does, only to find that he is completely and permanently paralyzed.
