“The Sorcerer”

In "The Sorcerer," a mysterious stranger seeking work at a remote gas station soon reveals he’s no ordinary man—his hidden abilities draw the attention of otherworldly forces. As supernatural beings confront him, they offer a chilling choice: surrender his powers or face their wrath. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with dynamic art by Jack Kirby and inks by Dick Ayers, this tale blends eerie suspense with classic Marvel-style wonder. The cover, also by Kirby and Ayers, captures the stranger’s unsettling presence with striking intensity.
