Dark Mysteries #22
In "Hand of Destiny," archaeologist Reid Cragg stumbles upon an ancient Egyptian tomb and uncovers the mummified hand of a long-dead chief executioner—only to find it answers his darkest wishes with deadly precision. Written and illustrated by Dick Beck, this eerie 1955 tale from Master Comics follows Cragg as he tries to escape the hand’s relentless reach, but the past refuses to stay buried. The cover by Tony Tallarico captures the story’s chilling atmosphere in striking detail.
