In "Black Hole of Wrath," a 1979 oddity from Weird Mystery Tales #41, Jay Hamilton finds himself drawn to an enigmatic actress, Zoe Ann, whose face is always hidden beneath bandages. Claiming to be 300 years old and reliant on a magic potion to maintain her youth, she leads Jay and his father on a strange journey to meet the sorcerer who supplies her elixir—only for the truth to unravel in a twist that turns their quest into an unexpected confrontation. Written by Ed Herron and illustrated with dynamic flair by Jack Kirby, with inks by Kirby and lettering by Joe Letterese, the issue’s cover by Nick Cardy captures the eerie allure of the tale.
