GPAnalysis: A 5.5 sold for $288 in 4/23.Fickle Fate: Ace's flagship fear-fest started life as a run-of-the-mill crime mag before shifting gears to horror. The headless ghosts, hanging panels and such that populate this mag are tame by EC standards, but it was enough to sustain the title for 19 issues. "Ace publishers took a comic entitled Men Against Crime, whose sales were indifferent, and turned it into the more successful The Hand of Fate beginning with its eighth issue in 1951." – William Schoell, The Horror Comics: Fiends, Freaks and Fantastic Creatures, 1940s-1980s. McFarland & Co.: 2014, p. 92.______________________________________________________________
