"Double Edge" in The Witching Hour #12 (1970) delivers a haunting tale of loss and longing, following a boy whose mother discards his cherished talisman—only for him to spend a lifetime searching for it. Written by Steve Skeates and brought to life with sharp, expressive art by Alex Toth, the story unfolds with quiet intensity, anchored by a journey that spans years and leads to a fateful reunion with a witch who holds the key. The cover, a striking portrait by Nick Cardy, captures the mood of mystery and yearning that defines the issue.
