Pre-Code Classics: Hand of Fate

A 2018–2019 PS Artbooks revival, Pre-Code Classics: Hand of Fate collects the complete 1950s run of the pre-Code horror anthology from the original publisher, with Ken Rice as the most frequent artist across these four issues. This series preserves the unvarnished, often macabre short stories that defined the era before the Comics Code Authority imposed strict censorship, offering a raw glimpse into the genre's formative years. For fans of vintage horror, it matters as a faithful reprint that showcases Rice's distinctive, moody artwork and the unfiltered storytelling that made these pre-Code comics a cult fascination.
