Five years have past and Donovan still digs through the refuge of the city. He must find the parchment! A scripture with the power to summon the devil himself. It’s the only way to get his dear Maggie back. The demon stole his love by chance. The sad truth is that Donovan put her in the situation in the first place.
“Invisible Link!”
The pain seared through Peter Renick like a gunshot, forcing the young attorney to double over at his desk. Miss Harper, the young legal assistant sitting on the other side with pen and paper, raced around to aid her boss. This was not the first time she had seen Peter in this condition. The sporadic pain and volatile emotions were tied to some unnatural connection. That of Peter’s twin brother.
“The House That Tried to Kill Me!”
Willy had inherited a mansion from his covetous uncle, Seth Brommer. The plan seemed simple. Move into the house. Live the life of luxury. Stella had no issues with her husband’s inheritance. Well, until the accidents began. It was as if the structure wanted them both dead.
“The Nightmare”
The dreams turn to nightmares. Two college roommates, now competing businessmen. When did their competitiveness turn deadly? It will take a midtown psychologist to find the answers.
“The Curse of the Crystal Ball!”
Morgan bid on the crystal ball as a goof. Louis didn’t understand his business partner’s obsession with the occult. He said little to discourage Morgan from bidding at the auction. Besides, the crystal was owned by the “Great” Professor Hearthstone. How dangerous could it be?
Review
In the Golden Age of comic books, the horror genre had as many unique story ideas as there were writers willing to pen them. Unfortunately, credit for many of these fine examples has been lost due to the lack of insight. The more probable explanation is the greed of publishers during this era.
Joe Simon is a possible candidate for one or more of the stories. There is no definitive proof, however. So collectors will have to make due with pure speculation.
The artwork has more reliable sources to rely upon. One thing is for certain, Jack Kirby has a definite art style. He may have only penned the splash pages, but the other artist working in conjunction made Black Magic Magazine the industry standard for its time. I give this issue three out of five stars.
