We begin with "The Man with My Face" by Gerry Conway and Jack Sparling. A gambler agrees to switch bodies with a mysterious stranger in exchange for a lucky silver dollar which allows him to never lose a bet.
That is followed by "Hyde -- and Go Seek" by Len Wein and Tony DeZuniga. A henpecked police officer is shocked to find out his best friend was searching for a cure for drug addiction and developed a serum that transformed him into a strangler that chooses his victims among girls who reminded him of his wife who left him. After the police manage to shoot him at last the dying man tells his friend where the vial of serum is located and begs him to destroy it.
After he returns to his shrew wife who is telling him about how she's already spent his bonus for solving the case, he withdraws the serum from his coat pocket and drinks it down. Reprinted in DC Special Blue Ribbon Digest #24 (1982).
Next up we have "The Day Nobody Died" drawn by George Roussos and reprinted from Tales of the Unexpected #9 (1957). A man is certain no one will die today because he is Death and it's his day off.
That brings us to "Track of the Invisible Beast" drawn by Alex Toth and reprinted from House of Mystery #109 (1961).
We end this issue with "A Bottle of Incense.. a Whiff of the Past" by Gerry Conway, Alan Weiss, and Berni Wrightson. An old woman who lost a man she fancied in an auto accident fifty years ago uses an occult ritual to return him to her, but he returns as a hungry zombie who devours her. Reprinted in DC Special Blue Ribbon Digest #17 (1982).
Entire issue reprinted in Showcase Presents: The House of Secrets Vol. 1 TPB (2008).
