☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Spell Casters" in Uncanny Tales #22 delivers a quirky, pulpy sci-fi twist on espionage, where a thief’s stolen watch with gravity-defying powers lands in the hands of shadowy operatives. Written by Carl Wessler and illustrated by Paul Reinman, the story unfolds with a chillingly precise moment when a bomber’s payload hangs motionless in midair—until it doesn’t. Dick Giordano’s cover captures the eerie stillness of that suspended bomb, a striking image that perfectly mirrors the tale’s tense, gravity-defying premise.
Cora Bryce, a woman attuned to the sea’s secrets, warns that the Sargasso Specter is stirring once more—but the graveyard of lost ships holds more than just treasure, and not all who seek its riches return. With Neil and his dog Spike at her side, she ventures into the shifting tides where the past refuses to stay buried.
In "Ancient Ape!", Sgt. Kilkenny finds himself in a frozen showdown when a prehistoric giant ape, long trapped in Arctic ice, is unleashed by gangster Augie O'Meara. With the creature now rampaging under O'Meara’s control, Magicman must confront the beast in a battle that tests both strength and wit.
Konrad Brugy, a man with a knack for trouble and a taste for the impossible, finds himself in possession of a watch that can stop gravity itself. When he tries to sell it to a shadowy group with radical ambitions, they put it to a deadly test—sending a bomber on a mission where time and physics bend in ways no one expected.
