In "One Second Till Doom!", a man haunted by jealousy acquires a cursed mirror tied to the infamous Lucrezia Borgia, only to see a monstrous reflection that convinces him his young wife is unfaithful. Bob Powell’s stark art brings the creeping dread to life as the man’s paranoia spirals, leading to a tragic consequence he never expected. The story’s chilling climax is rendered with haunting precision, all under the shadow of Russ Heath’s striking cover.

In "The Face In the Mirror," a jealous husband, haunted by suspicion, acquires a mirror said to belong to Lucrezia Borgia, believing it reveals the true nature of those who gaze into it. When he sees a sinister woman staring back, he accuses his young wife of infidelity, driving her to despair. The story unfolds with chilling quiet, as the mirror’s dark truth begins to surface—only for the man to realize, too late, that the reflection he feared was never his wife’s.
