Black Magic #42

This is an anthology issue containing multiple supernatural and science fiction stories. "The Man Who Cried Mermaid" depicts an old, feeble sailor who claims to have seen a mermaid, which manifests as a massive creature in the water before a man on a boat. Another story explores predictions about future space exploration, detailing anticipated developments in satellite technology and lunar missions across the decades from 1960 through 2000. The cover story, "The Grim Secret of Those Who Vanish," features cover art of a ghostly horse-drawn carriage materializing in a castle archway, suggesting tales of mysterious disappearances.
