The Hand of Fate #9

In "It Is Written: I Die Tomorrow!", chess champion Nicola faces a chilling challenge from a ghostly opponent—none other than the late champion Kovacs, returned from the grave to settle a score. As the game unfolds with human pieces moving to deadly ends, fate itself intervenes, claiming Nicola’s life for his arrogance. Penciled and inked by Kenneth Rice, this 1952 Ace Magazines thriller blends psychological tension with supernatural stakes, all rendered in a stark, haunting style.
