Black Magic #3 (21)

In "The Feathered Serpent," American tourist John Cooper ventures into the eerie Black Forest and stumbles upon the isolated village of Hasperhausen, where he finds himself drawn to the mysterious Erica. As midnight approaches, the entire town—and everyone in it—vanishes without a trace. Penciled and inked by Al Eadeh, with lettering by Ben Oda, this 1953 Prize Comics issue delivers a haunting mystery rooted in folklore and the unknown. The cover, a striking collaboration by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon, captures the story’s eerie atmosphere with sharp, dramatic flair.
