Strange Tales #173

Strange Tales #173 (April 1974) puts Brother Voodoo front and center in full mystic fury — red cape billowing, hands crackling with supernatural energy as he stands over flames, flanked by a snarling blue-skinned figure on the left and a coiling serpentine creature on the right, with the ghostly face of his brother Daniel hovering above. The cover tagline "Beware the Black Talon!" and the promise of "Black Magic… Beneath a Blood-Red Moon!" set a genuinely eerie, atmospheric tone that feels right at home in Marvel's early-'70s supernatural storytelling. Cover art by Rich Buckler, Ron Wilson, and Ernie Chan, with an interior story by Len Wein and Gene Colan — this one's a treat for fans of Marvel's more mystical corner of 1974.
