The Hand of Fate #19
In "The 5 Lives of Otto Marlin," archeologist Harlow Griffith unleashes a horde of living centaurs from a cave in Greece’s Mt. Pindus, only to join them in a spree of violence and theft. Trapped once more in the same cave, now guarded by their ancient enemy Hydra, Griffith faces a fate far worse than imprisonment. Art by Jim McLaughlin, this 1953 Ace Magazines classic blends myth and menace in a tale of cursed rebirth.
