☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Madness!", a humble man’s goodwill toward a forest-dwelling Leprechaun sets off a chain of magical events in a forgotten town. With enchanted seeds and paint, he hopes to restore his community—but when the townsfolk remain indifferent, he makes a fateful choice that brings the mystical stranger back into the shadows. Written by Carl Wessler and brought to life with expressive art by Mort Drucker, this 1977 Marvel tale blends whimsy and quiet desperation, with a cover by Jack Kirby and Joe Sinnott that captures its eerie charm.
In "The Madness!", a man awakens in the 16th century, imprisoned as a madman by an asylum keeper who seems to know more than he should. When he escapes and is pulled back to the present, the roles reverse—now it's the keeper who's locked away, and the truth of who’s truly mad begins to unravel.
In "Behold the Power of Zamu!", a charismatic stage magician with seemingly impossible tricks captures the public’s imagination—until Dr. Druid uncovers the shocking truth: Zamu isn’t human, but an alien from Saturn using his fame to pave the way for an invasion. With his mind a weapon and his illusions a cover, Zamu’s rise to political power becomes a race against time as Dr. Druid works to expose him before it’s too late.
In "One Man's Leprechaun," a humble townsman’s kindness to a trapped Leprechaun in the forest sets off a chain of magic and disappointment. With enchanted seeds and paint, he tries to revive his neglected town, only to find the townsfolk still unimpressed—especially when he asks to be made mayor. When his efforts are met with scorn, he makes a quiet choice that leads him back into the woods, where the Leprechaun’s fate hangs in the balance.
