“The Black Magician!”

In "The Black Magician!", Dick takes a surprising turn from heroics to history, asking Professor Nichols to send him back in time to confront a notorious alchemist—Count Cagliostro. Written by Bill Finger and brought to life by Jack Burnley’s art with Jim Mooney’s inks and Ira Schnapp’s lettering, this 1947 adventure blends pulp intrigue with a touch of the supernatural. The cover by Win Mortimer captures the mystique of the era’s classic adventure tales.
