"Decoy for Disaster" in Crack Action #1 (1955) delivers a haunting blend of fate and tragedy, following newlyweds Richard and Sylvia Porter on their beachside honeymoon. After a mysterious crone foretells Sylvia’s death the next day—exactly as it happens—Richard is left to grapple with grief, only to be spared his own end and condemned to live out his life span, thanks to a twisted twist of fate. The story, illustrated by the Iger Shop, blends melancholy and surrealism in a brief, striking tale that lingers long after the final panel.

In "Let Me Die Today," newlyweds Richard and Sylvia Porter enjoy a quiet beach honeymoon until a crone’s chilling prophecy foretells Sylvia’s death the next day—exactly as it unfolds when she’s struck by a runaway truck. Consumed by grief, Richard begs to die too, but the crone condemns him to live out his full life span, setting his fate forty years hence. Though he tries to end it by drowning at sea, he’s pulled back, forced to face decades of living without her.
