The Wizard's Back

In this short-lived 1970s Gold Medal Books series, writer Johnny Hart and artist Brant Parker spin a lighthearted fantasy tale about a washed-up stage magician who discovers he has genuine magical powers. Over its four-issue run, the duo balances gentle humor with whimsical adventure as the reluctant wizard navigates a world that doesn't quite believe in real sorcery. A charming, forgotten gem from the creators best known for their work on The Wizard of Id, it offers a playful take on the classic fish-out-of-water premise.
