The Hand of Fate #24

In the voodoo-ridden bayous of Louisiana, Lydia Foster, aided by an Ouanga witch woman, seeks to inherit a building company through dark means. Her plan takes a terrifying turn when she gains the power to transform into an alligator—only to become trapped between human and beast, with deadly consequences. This gripping tale, "The Man Who Would Be Fate," features art and inks by Jim McLaughlin in a 1954 issue of Ace Magazines.
