☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Spell Casters" kicks off in Uncanny Tales #138 (1979), a standout issue from Alan Class with a twist that’s equal parts pulpy and peculiar: a thief acquires a mysterious watch capable of halting gravity. Written by Carl Wessler and brought to life with dynamic art by Paul Reinman, the story follows the watch’s dangerous journey into the hands of a shadowy buyer who puts it to a chilling test—using it to suspend a bomb mid-air during a bombing run. Dick Giordano’s cover, both bold and eerily precise, captures the moment the bomb hangs in the sky, a perfect teaser for the tension within.
Cora Bryce, a woman with a knack for the uncanny, warns that the Sargasso Sea is stirring once more—its depths rising with the ghosts of drowned ships and forgotten cargo. With Neil and Spike eager to claim the lost wealth, they must navigate the sea’s eerie tides and the looming presence of the Sargasso Specter before the treasure becomes a trap.
Konrad Brugy finds himself caught in a bizarre chain of events after a stolen timepiece grants him control over gravity. When a thief attempts to sell the device to shadowy figures, the resulting test sends a bomber’s payload floating mid-air—leaving Konrad to wonder if he can stop the chaos before it’s too late.
In "Look Deep Into My Eyes," a struggling hypnotist discovers he’s the heir to a line of ancient sorcerers whose dark legacy demands his surrender. As the spirits attempt to claim him, a sudden, unexpected slap from a woman shatters the connection—leaving him caught between worlds, unsure what he’s truly capable of.
