Gwandanaland Comics #2352

This 2019 Gwandanaland Comics collection brings together the complete run of Black Cat Mystic, one of Harvey Comics' charming forays into Strange Suspense Tales. The reprinted cover on display sets the mood perfectly: a man and a young woman look on in puzzlement while two children on a bench reach toward a glowing, translucent old man reading to them — a black cat perched nearby — with dialogue bubbles asking "Whom are the children talking to?" as one observer confesses he sees nobody at all. It's a wonderfully eerie domestic mystery that showcases exactly the kind of gentle, goosebump-worthy storytelling that made this series so memorable.
