Powell crafts a surreal tale where Chicki, after killing M'Bombo the gorilla, is cursed by the grieving Rosa. With Chicki trapped in a fevered dreamscape, Mr. Mystic must journey into the bizarre Court of Animals to save him—before the nightmare consumes him completely. The story's haunting visuals are matched by Will Eisner’s striking cover art, a rare early collaboration that adds to the issue’s enduring mystique.
George Chikki Cruz, co-owner of a small circus, sneaks toward the wild animal tent under cover of night, haunted by the recent death of M'bombo the gorilla. His wife, Rosa, has placed a curse on him after the tragedy, and now Mr. Mystic must journey into his fractured dreams to save him from the surreal Court of Animals.
