*Vintage UK/Australian Reprints of US Material: Concluding our celebration of the black & white reprint compilations of pre-Code horror which incensed Parliament in the 1950’s, we have a virtually complete run of Black Magic. Taking its title, covers, and much of the content from the eponymous US series created by Simon & Kirby, these squarebound shockers, with a fine disregard for the Trades Descriptions Act, rapidly began strip-mining other horror publishers to fill out the 68 interior pages. Atlas and Ajax/Farrell (or possibly Superior?) are among the publishers who, involuntarily, contributed to Black Magic’s UK edition. We have the entire 16-issue series save for #11, in an array of grades from FA+ to FN+, but averaging around the VG mark, and all with striking and evocative Simon & Kirby covers. A selection are pictured below; these and many others are also shown in our catalogue, where you’ll find full grading and pricing information.
