Weird #6

In "The Corpse," Walter Mains, trapped in a suffocating marriage to his brilliant but tyrannical wife Anna, reaches his breaking point and kills her in a moment of rage. Desperate to hide the crime, he tries to burn her body in their home—only to discover, to his growing dread, that everything in the house is impervious to flame, thanks to Anna’s own fireproof invention.

In "Dying Is So Contagious," a chilling tale from Weird #6, Professor Homer Kelsey—obsessed with the final moments of life—lures criminals to his isolated home to witness their slow demise. When the desperate duo Slugger and Myrtle break in, seeking easy loot, they find themselves trapped in his macabre experiment. As hunger sets in and the house grows colder, Kelsey’s own fatal heart attack interrupts the grim spectacle—leaving the fate of the intruders uncertain.
