IT'S WITCHCRAFT!


Avon pre-Code horror comics have remained a steady collectible over the years, mainly for the above average stories and great stable of artists. This, the inaugural issue of the six-issue title, WITCHCRAFT is no exception. Sid Check illustrates the inside front cover that introduces each story and Joe Kubert lends some horrific images to the climax of Sol Cohen's "Heritage of Horror". George Roussous provides the illustration for the cover text story.

NOTE: A reasonably-priced copy of WITCHCRAFT #3 is available for sale on this site's "Pre-Code Comics Sale" page.
