☆ 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.
