“Last Ride!”

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.

Death narrates the fate of race-car driver Hugh Lanson. Hugh's face was deformed in a burning car crash. Hugh confronts his rival, Johnnie Rivers. Vickie tells Johnnie to let the confrontation go. Later at a bar, Hugh is approached by a fortune teller named Maggie. He hires her, but she says she sees death for him. Maggie helps Hugh possess Johnnie's body through a magical ritual. He does so, but demons begin to follow him. After the switch, instead of paying her a promised $10,000, Hugh kills Maggie and takes Johnnie's identity. In a race, Hugh finds himself racing in the land of the dead.
