The Hand of Fate #13

In "Necklace of Death," Pierre’s torment begins when he can no longer endure his wife’s endless zither-playing—until he sets their home ablaze, only to find the haunting melody follows him beyond death. Haunted by the ghost of his wife, who continues to play her zither in the afterlife, Pierre seeks redemption through confession and execution, but even the guillotine cannot silence her music. Cover by Lou Cameron, this 1952 issue from Ace Magazines delivers a chilling tale of guilt and supernatural retribution, all in a 10-cent comic.
