Voodoo #7
In "Devil Flower," a swarm of locusts devastates the planet, forcing Earth's nations into an unlikely alliance to survive. But when the insects are revealed to be alien pets of vengeful extraterrestrial harpies, the true threat emerges—unleashing a cosmic invasion from beyond the stars. Written by Ruth Roche and illustrated by the Iger Shop, this 1953 classic blends Cold War-era anxieties with pulp sci-fi flair, all captured in striking colors by the Iger Shop team.
Winston Creig survives a shipwreck on a tropical island, where he witnesses natives performing a dark ritual involving a massive man-eating flower—and decides to smuggle a smaller specimen back home. Once in his laboratory, the plant's appetite grows beyond control, and Creig descends into madness, luring unsuspecting victims to feed his carnivorous prize. As the bodies pile up and the police close in, Creig's desperate gamble to keep his "treasure" alive spirals toward its reckoning.
Artist Mike Brant scoffs at the superstitions plaguing the remote Moore County mountains—until he tangles with Cal Cooper, a crooked storekeeper who threatens him with a hex. When mysterious, agonizing pains begin wracking Mike's body, he and his wife Sheila must race to uncover Cooper's dark magic before the curse claims his life. A tense battle between belief and skepticism unfolds as the true nature of Cooper's spell is revealed.
In "Goodbye...World!" from Voodoo #7 (1953), a sudden, overwhelming swarm of locusts blankets the globe, forcing humanity to set aside its differences and unite in desperate defense. But when the insects are revealed to be alien pets of vengeful extraterrestrial harpies, the planet’s fragile alliance faces a far more terrifying threat than any natural disaster.
