House of Secrets #73
In "The Death of Mark Merlin," a 1965 DC classic, the enigmatic Gargoyle traps Mark Merlin in the mystical dimension of Ra, granting him immense magical power—but at a cost: Merlin must return to Earth as Prince Ra-Man. Written by Bob Haney and brought to life with moody, expressive art by Bernard Baily, this haunting tale blends supernatural mystery and transformation. The cover, a striking illustration by Jack Sparling, captures the eerie essence of the story’s otherworldly stakes.
