PRE CODE CLASSICS HAND OF FATE SLIPCASE ED (2025)

"Ace were turning out class acts of four-colour nastiness for several years and the fourth volume of Hand of Fate goes one step further with a bonus 1950 title in the shape of issue 1 of Challenge of the Unknown. And funksters, that's quite a shape! Artists include Lou Cameron, Sy Grudko, Richard Case, Jim McLaughlin, Ken Rice, Louis Zansky,Lin Streeter, Larry Woromay and Warren Kremer. Collects Hand of Fate #23-25 (June 1954 to December 1954) and Challenge of the Unknown #1 (1952)."

":Maybe a little wild and certainly a whole heap wacky, here comes PS's third volume of Pulp style stories from this Ace title choc-full of stolen pagan religious relics and mysterious cults in odd corners of the world . . . plus, of course, the inevitable (and thank goodness for that!) shuffling cadavers, vampires, ghouls and all manner of similar undead, half-dead or just down with a bad headache monster-types. Five gorey, grungey issues (18 thru 22) with enough four-colour wizardry delivered from the likes of Chic Stone, Sy Grudko, Bill Molno, Ken Rice, Lou Cameron, Jim McLaughlin, Louis Zansky and Ace Baker."
