Horrific #4
In "Last Ride!", Death himself recounts the twisted fate of disgraced race-car driver Hugh Lanson, whose disfigured face bears the scars of a fiery crash. After a tense showdown with his rival Johnnie Rivers and a cryptic warning from a fortune teller named Maggie, Hugh makes a desperate bargain—using a dark ritual to possess Johnnie’s body. But as the switch takes hold, a trail of demons follows him, and his victory comes at a cost he never anticipated. With Don Perlin handling both art and inks, and Don Heck’s chilling cover capturing the moment of transformation, this 1953 horror classic delivers a haunting, supernatural twist on the racing genre.
