Moolah the Mystic

Conjured into existence in the pages of House of Mystery #41 in 1955, Moolah the Mystic is a wonderfully atmospheric DC creation from the twilight of the Golden Age, born from the imaginations of editor Jack Schiff and artist Win Mortimer. Over a fifteen-year run spanning House of Mystery, House of Secrets, and Showcase, this enigmatic figure carved out a respectable 66 appearances — three of them collector-recognized key issues — in the eerie, anthology-driven corners of DC's mid-century universe. The company Moolah keeps is genuinely eclectic: sharing pages with the likes of Superman, Clark Kent, Mark Merlin, and Professor Eureka speaks to a character who moved through DC's strange and storied landscape with surprising range. For fans of the moody, mystery-tinged Silver Age that DC did so well, Moolah the Mystic is exactly the kind of hidden gem worth tracking down.
