PS Artbooks Softee: Black Magic #4

Collecting reprints of Black Magic magazine's earliest Prize Group issues, this PS Artbooks Softee volume showcases the wonderfully eerie anthology horror that made the series a standout of its era. The cover — drawn from an original issue — depicts a tense, shadowy scene in which a frightened woman recoils as a menacing figure looms over her near a forbidden room, with a crouching figure below and a skull visible among the debris, all accompanied by breathless dialogue about satisfying "infernal curiosity" at the cost of meeting the family freak. It's a vivid snapshot of the melodramatic, imaginative terror that filled Black Magic's pages of "true amazing accounts of the strangest stories ever told.
