Countdown to Halloween 2016: BLACK MAGIC "Man Who Captured a Ghost!"

Most people wouldn't consider our judicial system a source of horror...

...at least not the non-corporeal type!

Since Kirby (and Joe Simon) were the editors/art directors for the book, it's not unreasonable to think one or the other was also the story's writer.

While Kirby is clearly the cover artist...

...the interior art for the never-reprinted, cover-featured, tale from Prize's Black Magic V2N1 (1951) seems to be a combination of his layouts, pencils by Mort Meskin, and inks by Meskin and George Roussos!

Countdown to Halloween 2016: BLACK MAGIC "Masterpiece"

Once more we open the crypt to reveal a never-reprinted tale...

...from Simon & Kirby's classic 1950s series!

Though Mort Meskin is listed as the penciler of this tale from Prize's Black Magic #6 (1951), it's pretty obvious he was working from Jack Kirby's layouts.

(George Roussos inked the tale,)

Since Kirby (and Joe Simon) were the editors/art directors for the book, it's not unreasonable to think one or the other was also the story's writer.

ADVENTURES INTO DARKNESS "Frozen Death"

Here's a never-reprinted tale of a woman who could only survive in a frigid enviroment...

..so she'd feel right at home here in the US during the recent Polar Vortex weather experience!

Though the writer of this snow-bound story from Standard's Adventures into Darkness #14 (1954) is unknown, the artist is George Roussos, who penciled, inked, lettered, and colored this tale!
