The Barker #9
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Witch of Whistler Hollow!", the Barker races to rescue a captured witch from a sinister impersonator, only to find the Colonel suddenly uninterested in anything supernatural—leaving the hero to face the mystery alone. Written by Gwen Hansen and brought to life with moody, expressive art by Klaus Nordling (who also handled the cover pencils and inks), this 1948 Quality Comics classic blends eerie atmosphere with a touch of reluctant heroism.
When the Witch of Whistler Hollow is kidnapped and replaced by a look-alike, the Barker must unravel the mystery behind her disappearance—only to find that once she’s safe, the Colonel’s enthusiasm for the supernatural has officially run out.
When The Barker and his circus crew roll into the silver-mining town of Lodestone, they're counting on packed houses—but find the streets eerily empty. The locals won't work the newly reopened mine because the ghost of Silvermine Sam, murdered over a century ago, has returned to haunt it and claim revenge, leaving three dead in his wake. The Barker and his troupe must uncover the truth behind the curse before the town's fear destroys both their livelihood and anyone foolish enough to descend into the darkness below.
