Modern Comics #93
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe issue features a Blackhawk story titled "Lifts the Curse of Chorazin," in which the flying squadron confronts a supernatural villain and pursues enemy aircraft. The pages shown also contain a lighthearted romantic comedy story involving characters named Elmer, Torch, and a blonde woman at a beach, followed by a subplot about a popularity contest and romantic entanglements at a soda shoppe. The anthology includes humor and action across multiple narrative threads typical of Quality Comics' era publications.
The Blackhawks investigate a cult of devil-worshippers preparing for a mysterious gathering called the Black Pilgrimage to the legendary city of Chorazin, where the Master of Evil is said to dwell. When their leader is captured by the cult and taken overseas as a sacrifice, the rest of the team must track him across desert wastes to the heart of this dark pilgrimage and confront the evil forces behind it. It's a high-stakes adventure that blends wartime heroics with occult menace, as the Blackhawks race to expose the truth behind a centuries-old legend.
Torchy's roommate Tess grows suspicious when her boyfriend Ed shows up hours late, bragging about a lucrative real estate commission selling beachfront plots at "Seaweed Acres"—but when Tess investigates the property herself, she discovers the land floods at high tide. With Ed facing an angry customer and potential fraud charges, Tess and Torchy devise a scheme to smooth things over, and what unfolds is a lesson in quick thinking that leaves everyone—especially Ed—scrambling to keep up with their resourcefulness.
