One day, he accidentally overhears a phone conversation between the model and her lover as they conspire to kill Cedric and run off with his money. When Gary comes to Cedric's studio one day looking for Christine, he finds her, but not exactly the way he had hoped.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe children ran up to the hearse as Mr. Byrd drove by, yelling things at him as he made his way to the general store. They couldn't understand why a man, who was NOT an undertaker, would drive such a contraption. The townsfolk were scared of the man, who lived in a rented, deserted house. Whenever Lionel would come to town, the kids would look in the back of the hearse and only see a curtain partition, wondering what was behind it. The answer began when Lionel first moved to town....before he ever owned the hearse, and a couple of fugitives came by his house, looking to hide out from the law. When Lionel told them to leave, they shot him dead, and dug a grave to bury him behind the cabin. When they re-entered the cabin, there he was, holding a shotgun on them, and telling them they had killed his siamese twin! As he stepped forward, they could see the dead corpse still attached to Lionel, who tied the pair up and threw them in the grave they had prepared for him. Now we know why Lionel had that curtain in the back of his hearse!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHenderson was watching his partner diving into the water from their boat, trying to locate the valuable oyster bed that was shown on a map and they had been trying to find the last two days. Then, his partner discovered a huge oyster with a giant pearl inside....but before he could do anything, Henderson pushed his partner back into the water, followed him and knifed him in the chest, and cut the airhose. He was going to tell the crew aboard the boat that his partner had been killed by an octopus, but before he re-surfaced, he was attacked by a giant octopus himself. He passed out, and when he awakened, he discovered the octopus had torn off one leg and a savage tentacle was wrapping around his other leg. All Henderson could do was pray for a quick death!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVK presents more letters about Mrs. Phelan's criticism of EC mags from E. Manning, P.O. Hagan, Mrs. R.K.

Doc told them he'd seen this creature long ago....before it came to look like it did now. Pete came to see Doc with a lump on his arm, which he discovered was cancer, and he only had a few months to live. Dejected, Pete went to see the Old Hag up on Baldy Mountain, and she hexed him so that he'd never die....IF he'd agree to never ask her to un-hex him. He began to rot away, but he couldn't die!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA tiny kingdom was overrun with rats and the people decided they'd had enough and proceeded to kill most all the rats. The rulers were a pompous King and Queen, who lived in a castle whose moat the rats couldn't cross over. The Queen had pet white mice she loved, and when she learned that the townspeople had nearly killed off all the rats, which were related to her mice, it became a crime to kill any rat! Furious, the townspeople invaded the castle, captured the royal couple, shoved starving rats down their throats and sewed their mouths shut, and then watched as the rats ate their way out!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrictly from Hunger - Cover title taken from 3rd story, from which the cover was based.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilver Threads Among the Mold! - Colorist and letterer credits by Craig Delich.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTreasure! - The text story was printed on the inner halves of the two pages, with EC house ads to either side.
