“Betrayal!”

In "Betrayal!", a traveling American magician named Morton is summoned to a Near Eastern country to rival a local illusionist who’s won the people’s favor. With dazzling skill, Morton proves his superiority and leaves behind a cryptic message meant to inspire the populace—only for officials to later learn his plane never landed, leaving the fate of the message, and Morton himself, in doubt. Written by Joe Gill and illustrated by Dick Giordano, with inks by Vince Alascia and letters by Jon D'Agostino, the issue features a striking cover by John Buscema and Sam Grainger.
