“The Incredible Illusions!”

In "The Incredible Illusions!", Carl Griffin discovers a terrifying power hidden in a twisted phrase—“Sceat Grott!”—that summons a demon-like entity to do his bidding. With his rival Frank Carter eliminated, Griffin finds himself trapped by the very force he thought he controlled, as the magic words slip from his mind at the worst possible moment. Art by Mort Meskin and George Roussos brings this eerie tale of cursed incantations to life, with a haunting cover by Ruben Moreira.

By twisting the words “Great Scott!” into “Sceat Grott!”, Carl Griffin wins command over a demon-like creature. The creature does his every bidding and kills his rival, Frank Carter, for him. The blame falls on Griffin, though, who fails to call his demon to help – because he forgets the magic words all of a sudden.
