In "The Wand of Weirdness," a 1945 Green Publishing gem, Apollo and Muley’s museum heist takes a dark turn when Apollo grabs a cursed scepter said to belong to Merlin the Magician—only to learn the hard way that using it for evil brings swift retribution. The wand’s curse follows a chain of misfortune, claiming a cab driver and racketeer named Dippy Dugan before Steel Sterling steps in to restore balance. Written by Otto Binder and illustrated by Irv Novick, this classic tale blends pulp adventure with a touch of supernatural dread, all on a 10-cent cover.

In "The Wand of Weirdness," Apollo and Muley's museum heist takes a deadly turn when Apollo grabs a mysterious scepter—unbeknownst to him, the cursed Wand of Weirdness once wielded by Merlin. The moment he uses it for ill intent, the ancient magic turns on him and his partner, sealing their fate. The cursed artifact then follows a trail of misfortune to a cab driver and racketeer named Dippy Dugan, whose final wish proves fatal. Steel Sterling eventually recovers the wand and returns it to the museum, where it belongs.
