“Defying the Magic of... Mad Merlin!”

In "Defying the Magic of... Mad Merlin!", Animal Man finds himself in a high-stakes showdown with the mind-controlled Johnny Future, after exposing his criminal act at a London bank. With police closing in, Animal Man calls on his animal allies to turn the tide—using a sudden swarm of birds to scatter the officers and take control of the situation. The fate of Johnny Future now rests in Animal Man’s hands, as he ushers him to his hidden home, where the real test of wills begins. Written by Alf Wallace and illustrated by Luis Bermejo, with a striking cover by Jack Kirby and Chic Stone, this 1967 IPC classic blends sci-fi intrigue and supernatural flair in a story that’s as clever as it is unpredictable.
