Synopsis:
Satan is getting fewer souls every year so he boasts that he will deliver a randomly chosen one: Herbie's. Herbie agrees to a deal with the Devil to help his dad, and after consultation on contracts, Herbie reluctantly agrees to go to Hades. Hades would never be the same!

Indexer Notes

On page 2, Satan chooses soul by throwing a dart at a map. The map implies that Herbie lives in the midwest USA, in Nebraska or Kansas. On page 10, Herbie's stare melts Frankenstein and Dracula, during which the two plead for help; their words are too small for the balloons and in a different lettering style, suggesting that different words were changed at the last minute.
