Gwandanaland Comics #511

This 2017 Gwandanaland Comics reprint collects the first volume of Crestwood Publishing's Black Magic Magazine, promising "the strangest stories ever told!" The cover — penciled and inked by Jack Kirby with inks by Joe Simon — depicts a tense domestic scene: a distressed child crying out for her doll as a man menaces her and a woman, apparently poised to throw the doll into a roaring furnace, with speech balloons hinting at something sinister and supernatural about the toy itself. With 52 pages of vintage horror-anthology material and the unmistakable dynamism of Kirby's linework on full display, this is a genuinely compelling package for fans of early American horror comics.
