Mister Mystery #1

In "Hand," the eerie legacy of the Haas family resurfaces when Herman Haas, the last of his line, is forced by Satan himself—Lucifer H. Diablo—to recreate the deadly blue candle from memory. Though he tries to flee, Herman’s fate is sealed by the very curse he sought to erase. With art by Tony Mortellaro and a striking cover by Ross Andru and Mike Esposito, this 1951 tale blends gothic dread and supernatural retribution in a chilling, self-contained story.
