In "Lord Leopard," amateur occultist Whitney Hargrave’s attempt to prove himself against the powerful Prince Ra-Man backfires when his spell summons the malevolent African deity Lord Leopard—unaware he’s unleashed something far beyond his control. Written by Bob Haney and brought to life with striking detail by Bernard Baily, this 1966 DC tale blends mysticism and suspense in a story that’s as much about hubris as it is about the unseen forces that can slip through the veil. The cover by Jack Sparling captures the eerie tension perfectly.
