Black Magic #36

Black Magic #36 is an anthology issue containing multiple supernatural and mysterious tales. "Superstitions" is an informational feature detailing various folklore beliefs including the proverb about singing before breakfast, oak tree magic, and the Death Watch Beetle's connection to family deaths. One story depicts a man named MacDonough who flees during a hunt, falls down stone stairs to his death, and subsequently haunts the location, prompting his widow to seek aid from magical practitioners. Another narrative follows Sanders, a man seeking a magical portrait said to grant youth to its owner, leading him through exotic locations like India in pursuit of the legendary artwork that allegedly grows younger as its subject ages.
