American Comics Update: ACG’s Forbidden Worlds with Magicman
*Horror/Mystery 1960-1980s: Forbidden Worlds from ACG was their second major title, starting in 1951. It’s the Silver Age incarnation that concerns us here; initially the horror of pre-code had given way to the more whimsical fantasy/mysteries for which ACG became known in the 1960s; these were augmented in the titlle’s later phase by the super-heroic adventures of Magicman, who took over cover and lead, with the mystery/supernatural stories as back-ups. To my eye, Magicman strongly resembles a Golden Age super-hero (not one in particular, but just the look). He had various magical powers, and was the son of a medieval sorceror Gagliostro (of course!) We have seven issues starring him new into stocK, which are great value.
