Ibis the Invincible #[nn]

Jan 1950 · Arnold Book Company · [none]
“The Book of Evil”

In "The Book of Evil," Ibis the Invincible confronts a sinister artifact: a human-skin-bound tome filled with lifelike illustrations of extinct creatures, one of which—painted with a magical potion by the mysterious Xanthilly—can step out of the book and kill. With no magic staff to aid him, Ibis must enter the book’s pages to stop the living beast before it claims its next victim. Written by Bill Woolfolk and illustrated by Gus Ricca, with a striking cover by Kurt Schaffenberger, this 1950 adventure blends ancient mysticism and prehistoric peril in a tale that’s as eerie as it is unforgettable.
