PRE CODE CLASSICS HAND OF FATE SOFTEE (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 title in the shape of Challenge of the Unknown! Artists include Lou Cameron, Sy Grudko, Richard Case, Jim McLaughlin, Ken Rice, Louis Zansky, Lin Streeter, Larry Wormy and Warren Kremer.

Maybe 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 grey, grunge 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.
