Mexican version of Black Cat #48. In one story, a murderer is stranded on a desert island with no company except the rotting corpse of his victim. The premise recalls Reed Crandall's "Carrion Death" from Shock SuspenStories #9 (1952), in which a killer is handcuffed to a corpse. Only, in this version, the killer becomes psychologically attached to his victim's body.
