| Witchcraft #1 |
Witchcraft v1 #1, 1952 - At first glance, the inside front cover resembles Wally Wood's earliest style, but upon closer inspection it's more likely to be the work of Sid Check. Joe Kubert illustrates the lead story about a repulsive looking artist who pines after his friend's lovely fiancee. A demonic creature looms over the artist in the opening splash, a metaphor for the main character's own twisted desires. Kubert's work in this is admirable for its kinetic quality. He also doesn't shy away from using symbolism as shorthand (specifically the floating eyes on the interior page shown below) or showing necessary horrific scenes toward the story's end. This is 1 of 2 Witchcraft issues by Kubert. /// key 1st issue - - - - - - - - - -
