Strange Fantasy #2
"Fate Has a Thousand Faces" begins when a mysterious specter tells a couple they will both meet death that evening. A woman named Mignon, a ventriloquist performing at a theater, uses her dummy to entertain while her companion George watches the act. Police investigate the death of a woman named Mrs. Talbott, whose husband Frank was killed with a barbecue fork two weeks prior, and suspect Mary Drake, a wealthy playboy involved with Frank. As the investigation unfolds, a man named Leonard becomes jealous of his wife Yvonne's affections and considers murder, but a shadow appears at the window—the specter's presence—suggesting fate will intervene to claim them both before they can act on their dark desires.
