Blackstone Master Magician Comics

A short-lived but fascinating three-issue series from Vital Publications, Blackstone Master Magician Comics (1946) was built around the real-life celebrated stage magician Harry Blackstone. The run was primarily written by Walter B. Gibson, a prolific author best known for creating The Shadow, and illustrated by E. C. Stoner, whose work included detailed diagrams alongside the comic storytelling. This title stands out as a unique artifact of the post-war era, blending comic book adventure with instructional magic content directly from a famous performer.
