House of Secrets #95

In "The Last Sorcerer," magician Manfrey wields real magic—so powerful it defies belief—yet chooses to suppress his gifts to resist the temptation of using them for harm. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, this six-page tale from House of Secrets #95 (1971) explores the quiet cost of such a vow, where the true magic lies not in spells, but in the strength to walk away.

In "The Bride of Death," the ancient and desperate Graf Louis da Costa makes a deadly bargain with the Devil, trading his soul for a century of life and a youthful bride. But when the wedding night arrives, he begins to suspect his bride may not be the innocent prize he believed—she, too, once sold her soul, and her century of youth is only just beginning.
