A Mirror for Magic!
7 pp
Barton WarrenPerkinsMildred

When a reckless spendthrift named Barton Warren impulsively purchases a legendary Florentine mirror at auction, he discovers it possesses an extraordinary power: anything he draws while it reflects his work materializes into reality. As Warren uses this miraculous artifact to conjure wealth and win back his estranged fiancée with lavish gifts and promises of reform, he becomes increasingly obsessed with the mirror's secrets—but curiosity about its true origins may lead him somewhere he's not prepared to go. A tale of greed, magic, and the dangerous allure of getting everything you desire, from the pages of Forbidden Worlds #52.

The Girl in the Grotto!
7 pp · horror-suspense
Harley MellonGenlyJim Edwards

A boy's discovery of a mysterious green-skinned girl in an underwater cavern off Bermuda sets off a scientific sensation—but when Professor Harley Mellon and his assistant Jim Edwards try to uncover her origins, they find themselves entangled in something far more sinister than a biological mystery. As the enigmatic Genly reveals strange powers and her own hidden agenda, the stakes escalate from laboratory curiosity to a threat that could reshape the world.

No. 4: Black Cats
5 pp
Orin BlakelyMarquise Marguerite La MotteVicomte Raoul DufresnePeter Bartlesby

Dr. Orin Blakely, curator of the Institute of Psychic Research, examines the origins of one of folklore's most enduring superstitions: the black cat as a harbinger of bad luck. Through a series of historical tales—from 18th-century France to Victorian London to the African frontier—Blakely traces how tragic incidents involving black cats became woven into legend, before offering a skeptical analysis of how superstition takes root in human nature. A clever debunking that reminds us how easily we assign blame to the wrong culprit.

Bill Hodges

Captain Bill Hodges, a test pilot pushing the limits of experimental rocketmobiles, experiences vivid hallucinations during high-speed runs—visions of 18th-century adventures that feel uncannily real. When he meets a mysterious Australian chess partner named Robert Hamilton who gives him a lucrative stock tip, Hodges becomes obsessed with uncovering the connection between his fantasies and this stranger, eventually traveling to Australia to find answers. What he discovers there will challenge everything he thought he knew about the nature of his visions.
