STORY DETAILS

(5 Stories)

Title: The Ship of Lost Souls

Synopsis: The gambling ship “Hades” capsizes and dozens of passengers are killed inside the hull. The ship’s owner, Harry Cain, is responsible for this tragedy, because his ship was not ballasted the right way. Two newspaper reporters, who were allegedly killed onboard, have survived and stage a scoop. Posing as ghosts they kidnap Cain, bring him aboard the “Hades” and make him confess his deadly negligence. As Cain whips out a gun, another tidal wave rolls in and takes Cain down to the bottom of the sea.

Title: Hideout in Hell

Pencils: Bob McCarty

Notes: The faces with big eyes, large underlips and bushy eyebrows most probably McCarty, but the inking is "simpler" than his credited work in "Black Magic" #16. Therefore Jim Vadeboncoeur, Jr. and Tillmann Courth revoke the inking credit.

Title: The Strangling Hands

Synopsis: Collector Noram comes into possession of the severed arms of Jean D’Arst, the infamous French strangler. The arms are rumored to be cursed and to have killed all of their current owners. Noram, however, is strangled by his greedy nephew Don. When the police don’t buy the story of a curse, Don runs – but is strangled by the bodiless arms.
