WARNING IN THE SAND


Newlyweds Richard and Sylvia Porter find a nice honeymoon spot on the beach. They happen upon an old hag that warns them not to read what she has written in the sand. Sylvia can't help herself and reads what's written in the sand -- the date of her death, and it's tomorrow! Sure enough, she's killed in a car crash and Richard, beside himself with grief, plunges into the sea to drown. But, hey, this is a horror comic and a weird twist of fate ensues.

"Let Me Die Today" appeared in VOODOO #18 (Farrell, November-December 1954) with art by the Iger Shop. One more issue of VOODOO would be published and then it would fold in the wake of the infamous Senate Hearings and subsequent Comics Code Authority.
